Abstract

Without the use of conventional chemicals, such as chromic acid, not only resin surface roughening but also conductivity imparting is attained for resin molding by a dry process. Accordingly, deterioration of the resin surface of resin molding by such chemicals is prevented. Further, as such chemicals imposing heavy environmental load are not used, reduction of environmental load substances can be attained. Still further, surface layer detachment from resin plated articles is prevented, thereby ensuring the safety thereof. There is provided a process including the resin surface cleaning/activation step (S1) of performing plasma treatment of the surface of resin molding to thereby attain cleaning and surface reforming activation; the metal thin film forming step (S2) of forming a metal thin film on the surface of the resin molding by sputtering; the conductivity imparting film forming step (S4) of forming by sputtering a conductivity imparting film of nickel, copper, etc. on the metal thin film formed on the resin molding; and finally the electroplating step of electroplating the resin molding.

[0001] 本発明は、榭脂成形品に金属めつきを施す榭脂めっき技術に係り、特に榭脂めつ きの表面調整工程、エッチング工程力 導電ィ匕処理工程までの榭脂めっきの前処理 について、 6価クロム酸を用いずにスパッタリング処理により実施するスパッタリングに よる榭脂導電ィ匕を利用した装飾めつき品の製造方法及び榭脂成形品を固定する吊り 掛け治具に関する。  TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a resin plating technique for applying metal plating to a resin molded product, and in particular, before the resin plating until the surface adjustment process of the resin resin plating, the etching process power, and the conductive metal treatment process. Regarding the treatment, the present invention relates to a method for producing a decorative adhesive product using a resin conductive material by sputtering carried out by sputtering treatment without using hexavalent chromic acid and a hanging jig for fixing the resin molded product.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 従来の一般的な榭脂めっき成膜方法は、図 20に示すように、めっきする榭脂成形 品に、その榭脂成形品の表面粗ィ匕するエッチング工程、エッチング中和工程、触媒 付与工程、導電化工程 (又は無電解めつき)等のダイレクトめっき前処理工程やィ匕学 めっき工程を施し、前処理した榭脂成形品に、光沢銅めつき、半光沢ニッケルめっき 、光沢ニッケルめっき、 MPニッケルめっき(マイクロポーラスニッケルめっき)の順で各 めっき処理を施し、最後にクロムめつきを施して終了するめつき方法である。このよう に榭脂成形品は非導電性のため、電気めつきの前処理として樹脂に導電性を付与 する導電化工程 (ダイレクトめっき前処理又は無電解めつき)が必要である。  [0002] As shown in FIG. 20, a conventional general resin plating film-forming method includes: an etching process for roughening the surface of the resin molded article to be plated, an etching neutralization process, Direct plating pre-treatment process such as catalyst application process, conductive process (or electroless plating), and metal plating process, and pre-treated resin moldings with bright copper plating, semi-bright nickel plating, gloss In this method, each plating process is performed in the order of nickel plating and MP nickel plating (microporous nickel plating), and finally chrome plating is applied. Thus, since the resin molded product is non-conductive, a conductive step (direct plating pretreatment or electroless plating) is required to impart conductivity to the resin as a pretreatment for electroplating.
なお、従来の塗装用の榭脂成形品と、榭脂めっき用の榭脂成形品では、原料収縮 率が異なるため塗装用の金型と榭脂めっき用の金型の 2種類を準備する必要があつ た。  In addition, since the shrinkage rate of the raw material differs between the conventional resin molding for coating and the resin molding for resin plating, it is necessary to prepare two types: a coating mold and a resin plating mold There was.
[0003] 一般的な湿式法による榭脂めっきをする榭脂成形品の導電化工程 (又は無電解め つき)は、図 21に示すように、高濃度のクロム酸 (6価クロム)と硫酸の混酸を使用して エッチング処理し、水洗して力 クロム酸中和し、水洗して力 PdZSn等の触媒付与 し、水洗してカゝら活性ィ匕して水洗した後に無電解めつきをする。  [0003] As shown in Fig. 21, the conductive process (or electroless plating) of a resin molded product that uses a general wet method for resin plating is performed with a high concentration of chromic acid (hexavalent chromium) and sulfuric acid. Etching treatment using mixed acid, washing with water, neutralizing with chromic acid, washing with water, applying a catalyst such as PdZSn, washing with water, activating the water and washing with water. To do.
[0004] 榭脂成形品に無電解めつきを施す際のめっき前処理技術としては、例えば特許文 献 1の特開平 5— 132785号公報「無電解めつき前処理方法」のように、ガラス繊維を 含有するポリイミド榭脂からなる絶縁物質の表面に無電解めつきを施すに際し前処理 として行なわれる該絶縁物質のエッチング処理にお!、て、該絶縁物質の表面を無水 クロム酸および硫酸を含有する溶液を用いてエッチング処理した後、ヒドラジンを含 有する溶液でエッチング処理する二段エッチング処理を行なう無電解めつき前処理 方法が提案されている。 [0004] As a pretreatment technique for plating when electroless plating is applied to a resin molded product, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-132785, “Electroless plating pretreatment method”, Fiber The surface of the insulating material contains chromic anhydride and sulfuric acid in the etching process of the insulating material, which is performed as a pretreatment when the surface of the insulating material made of polyimide resin is subjected to electroless plating. There has been proposed an electroless plating pretreatment method in which a two-stage etching process is performed in which etching is performed using a solution and then etching is performed using a solution containing hydrazine.

[0005] この榭脂めっきの基本である樹脂の表面粗ィ匕する榭脂のエッチング工程は、現在 でも高濃度のクロム酸 (6価クロム)と硫酸の混酸が使用されている。このクロム酸を使 つたエッチング工程はその廃液処理だけでなぐ処理工程中の作業にも人体に悪影 響を及ぼすおそれがあった。現在は、このクロム酸を使ったエッチング工程を榭脂め つき工程カゝら廃止すべく様々な技術が提案されている。しかし、榭脂めっきの基本性 能であるめつき密着性規格、例えば自動車部品規格の様な厳格な条件を充足する 前処理が提案されて!ヽなかった。 [0005] The resin etching process that roughens the resin surface, which is the basis of this resin plating, still uses a mixed acid of high-concentration chromic acid (hexavalent chromium) and sulfuric acid. This etching process using chromic acid has the potential to adversely affect the human body even during work in the process that requires only waste liquid treatment. At present, various technologies have been proposed to eliminate the etching process using chromic acid. However, a pretreatment has been proposed that satisfies the stringent adhesion standards that are the basic performance of resin plating, such as automotive parts standards! I did not hesitate.
[0006] 例えば、 PA榭脂(ポリアミド榭脂、 6—ナイロン)の榭脂成形品は、塩酸系エツチン グ液を用いて榭脂の表面粗ィ匕をすることができる。 POM榭脂(ポリアセタール)は、 塩酸 Z硫酸混酸もしくはリン酸 Z硫酸混酸を用いてエッチングすることができる。 LC P榭脂 (液晶ポリマー)は、苛性カリエッチングを用いてエッチングすることができる。こ のように榭脂材料によっては、クロム酸系のエッチング液を使わな 、でエッチングする ことが可能である。 [0006] For example, a PA resin (polyamide resin, 6-nylon) resin molded product can be surface-roughened using a hydrochloric acid-based etching solution. POM resin (polyacetal) can be etched using hydrochloric acid Z sulfuric acid mixed acid or phosphoric acid Z sulfuric acid mixed acid. LC P resin (liquid crystal polymer) can be etched using caustic potash etching. As described above, some resin materials can be etched without using a chromic acid-based etching solution.
[0007] PPE榭脂(ポリフエニルエーテル)のように比較的酸ィ匕に弱い樹脂の樹脂成形品に ついては、過マンガン酸系のエッチング液を用いて表面粗ィ匕することが可能である。  [0007] A resin molded product of a resin that is relatively weak in acidity, such as PPE resin (polyphenyl ether), can be surface-roughened using a permanganic acid-based etching solution.
[0008] ABS榭脂(アクリロニトリル Zブタジエン Zスチレン榭脂)のような汎用榭脂の樹脂 成形品は、マンガン酸系エッチング液を用いてエッチングすることができる。溶剤プリ エッチング工程等を付カ卩して過マンガン酸系エッチングのような弱いエッチング液で もエッチングすることができる。  [0008] A resin molded product of a general-purpose resin such as ABS resin (acrylonitrile Z butadiene Z styrene resin) can be etched using a manganic acid-based etchant. Etching can be performed with a weak etchant such as permanganate etching by adding a solvent pre-etching process.
[0009] また、榭脂基材の導電化処理技術としては、例えば特許文献 2の特開平 6— 2124 05号公報「ポリフエ-レンサルファイド支持体上に銅をめつきする方法」のように、ポリ フエ-レンサルファイド支持体を、真空下にて RFアルゴンプラズマでエッチングする 。真空を破ることなぐエッチングされた表面にチタンの層をスパッタリングし、そして チタンによりスパッタリングされた表面に第 1の銅層をスパッタリングし、スパッタリング 手順の後、支持体に第 2の銅層を所望の厚さに電気めつきする方法が提案されてい る。 [0009] Further, as a conductive treatment technology for the resin base material, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-212405 of "Patent Document 2," a method of attaching copper on a polyphenylene sulfide support, Polyphenylene sulfide support is etched with RF argon plasma under vacuum . Sputter a layer of titanium on the etched surface without breaking the vacuum, and sputter the first copper layer on the surface sputtered with titanium, and after the sputtering procedure, apply the second copper layer to the support as desired. A method of electroplating the thickness has been proposed.

[0010] この特許文献 2のめつきする方法は、 4. 5〜5. 5ポンド Zインチの剥離強さが得ら れる。この方法は、 EMIシールド用やプリント回路基板用の製品を造るのに有用であ るとされている。 [0010] This method of Patent Document 2 provides a peel strength of 4.5 to 5.5 pounds Z inches. This method is said to be useful for making products for EMI shielding and printed circuit boards.
[0011] 更に、榭脂成形品にスパッタリング処理する技術としては、例えば特許文献 3の特 表平 9 - 511792号公報「負圧又は真空中にお!ヽて材料蒸気によって基板を被覆 する装置」のように、材料蒸気源、及び陽極と陰極との間にプラズマを発生しかつ材 料蒸気によって援助されるアーク放電内において材料蒸気をイオン化するために冷 陽極と冷陰極とからなるイオンィ匕装置が設けられており、その際、材料蒸気源とィォ ン化装置の陽極及び陰極とが、互いに電気的に切離されている、負圧又は真空中に お!、て材料蒸気によって基板を被覆する装置が提案されて 、る。  [0011] Further, as a technique for performing a sputtering treatment on a resin molded product, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-511792 of "Patent Document 3" "Apparatus for coating a substrate with material vapor in a negative pressure or vacuum" A material vapor source and an ionic device comprising a cold anode and a cold cathode to generate a plasma between the anode and cathode and ionize the material vapor in an arc discharge assisted by the material vapor In this case, the material vapor source and the anode and cathode of the ionization apparatus are electrically separated from each other in a negative pressure or vacuum! A coating device has been proposed.

[0012] 従来のスパッタリング装置は、図 22に示すように、真空チャンバ一 51内においてプ ラズマ放電により励起されたアルゴン等の衝突により金属ターゲット 52より原子を飛 び出させ、榭脂成形品 (W)に成膜させる装置である。このスパッタリング処理により榭 脂成形品 Wに金属ターゲット 52を成膜する。このスパッタリング装置では、平面的な 形状の榭脂成形品 W、又は凹凸のある形状であってものその片面のみを成膜処理 する榭脂成形品 Wでは、その榭脂成形品 Wを装置内に固定するだけで十分であつ た。しかし、凹凸面を有する榭脂成形品 Wにその表面に均一に成膜することができな かった。 [0012] As shown in Fig. 22, the conventional sputtering apparatus causes atoms to be ejected from the metal target 52 by collision of argon or the like excited by plasma discharge in a vacuum chamber 51, and a resin molded product ( W). A metal target 52 is formed on the resin molded product W by this sputtering treatment. In this sputtering apparatus, in the case of a resin molded product W having a planar shape, or a resin molded product W in which only one surface of the resin is formed with unevenness, the resin molded product W is placed in the apparatus. It was enough to fix it. However, a uniform film could not be formed on the surface of the resin molded product W having an uneven surface.

発明が解決しょうとする課題  Problems to be solved by the invention
[0013] しかし、上述した湿式法のエッチング工程では、高濃度のクロム酸と硫酸との混酸 のように様々な化学薬品を使用して導電ィ匕を行うため、榭脂成形品がこれらの薬品 によって劣化することがあり、更に榭脂成形品の表面に薬品が残留するおそれがあ つた。その結果、榭脂めっきした製品の一部には榭脂成形品の表層薄膜が剥離し、 その上のめっき膜と共に浮き上がり、めっき膜に亀裂が入ることがあった。この浮き上 力 Sつためつき膜は 30〜50 m程度の金属膜で、その榭脂めっきした製品を使用した ときにユーザーが指を切るなどの不具合が発生することがあった。 [0013] However, in the wet etching process described above, conductive resin is used using various chemicals such as a mixed acid of high concentration chromic acid and sulfuric acid. In some cases, chemicals may remain on the surface of the resin molded product. As a result, the surface layer thin film of the resin molded product peeled off on some of the products plated with resin, and floated together with the plating film thereon, and the plating film sometimes cracked. The lift film S is a metal film with a thickness of about 30 to 50 m. When using the resin-plated product, problems such as the user's finger being cut sometimes occur.
[0014] また、榭脂成形品の榭脂素材によっては、上述したような湿式法による導電化処理 できないか、あるいは困難な場合があった。例えば、自動車用ドアハンドルのめっき には、 PCZABS榭脂が主に用いられている。同じ製品の塗装用榭脂材料には、 PC [0014] In addition, depending on the resin material of the resin molded product, there are cases where the conductive treatment by the wet method as described above cannot be performed or is difficult. For example, PCZABS resin is mainly used for plating automotive door handles. PC for the same type of resin
ZPBTや PCZPETなどの PCZポリエステル系の材料が使われており、用途別に 材料が使い分けられている。これは、ドアハンドル用の榭脂材料としては PCZポリエ ステル系材料の方が適しているが、めっきが難しぐ自動車仕様を満足できる樹脂め つきドアハンドルが作れな 、からである。 PCZ polyester-based materials such as ZPBT and PCZPET are used. This is because PCZ polyester-based materials are more suitable as a resin material for door handles, but it is not possible to make resin-handled door handles that can meet automotive specifications that are difficult to plate.
[0015] エッチング工程で、高濃度のクロム酸と硫酸との混酸を使用するため作業環境が悪 ぐ取り扱いも危険であった。無電解めつき工程で、発ガン性物質のホルマリンやアン モ-ァを使用するため作業環境が悪力 た。また強い錯化剤を必要とするため、廃 水処理が困難であった。各処理工程後に水洗工程を必要とするため、水の使用量が 冬、、と 、う問題を有して 、た。  [0015] Since the etching process uses a mixed acid of high concentration chromic acid and sulfuric acid, the handling environment is bad and handling is also dangerous. The work environment was bad because formalin and ammonia, which are carcinogenic substances, were used in the electroless plating process. In addition, it requires a complexing agent, making it difficult to treat wastewater. Since a water washing step is required after each treatment step, the amount of water used has problems such as winter.
[0016] 一方、マグネトロン'スパッタリングなどの加速度を付けて榭脂に金属を叩き込む成 膜方法も創案されているが、アルゴンで榭脂表面が叩かれて処理表面温度が高くな る可能性があり、 ABS榭脂などのような低融点の材料は熱変形しやすいという問題を 有していた。  [0016] On the other hand, a film-forming method in which a metal is struck into the resin with acceleration, such as magnetron sputtering, has been devised. However, the surface of the resin may be struck with argon and the processing surface temperature may increase. In addition, low melting point materials such as ABS resin have the problem of being easily deformed by heat.
[0017] グロ一放電プラズマ法による成膜方法では、イオン化率が低ぐ十分な金属の加速 ができな!/、ので榭脂めっき規格のピーリング密着強度は得られな 、と 、う問題を有し ていた。  [0017] The film formation method using the glow discharge plasma method cannot sufficiently accelerate the metal with a low ionization rate! /, So that the peeling adhesion strength of the resin plating standard cannot be obtained. Was.
[0018] 特許文献 2、特許文献 3に示すスパッタリング処理により榭脂成形品にターゲットの 金属を成膜するスパッタリング装置では、基板のような平面的な形状の榭脂成形品、 又は凹凸のある形状であってものその片面のみを成膜処理する技術であった。そこ で、榭脂成形品では、その榭脂成形品を装置内に固定するだけで十分であった。し かし、凹凸面を有する榭脂成形品 wにその表面に均一に成膜することができないと いう問題を有していた。 [0018] In a sputtering apparatus for depositing a target metal on a resin molded product by sputtering shown in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3, a planar resin molded product, such as a substrate, or an uneven shape. However, it was a technique for forming a film on only one side of the film. Therefore, in the case of a resin molded product, it was sufficient to fix the resin molded product in the apparatus. Shi However, there has been a problem that it is impossible to form a uniform film on the surface of the resin molded product w having an uneven surface.
[0019] また、従来のスパッタリング装置では、吊り掛け治具に固定した榭脂成形品につい て、吊り掛け治具を回転するので、榭脂成形品の外周側は金属ターゲットに近づくこ とができる。一方、榭脂成形品の内周側は金属ターゲットに近づくことがない。そこで 、榭脂成形品の外周側は常時金属が厚く成膜され、逆に榭脂成形品の内周側は金 属が薄く成膜されやすぐスパッタリング金属の成膜厚が不均一になりやすいという問 題を有していた。  [0019] Further, in the conventional sputtering apparatus, the suspension jig is rotated with respect to the resin molded product fixed to the hanging jig, so that the outer peripheral side of the resin molded product can approach the metal target. . On the other hand, the inner peripheral side of the resin molded product does not approach the metal target. Therefore, a thick metal film is always formed on the outer peripheral side of the resin molded product, and on the contrary, a thin metal film is formed on the inner peripheral side of the resin molded product. The problem was.
[0020] 従来の榭脂成形品の装飾用途のクロムスパッタ法では、基材プラスチックの上にァ ンダーコートを施し、クロムスパッタを 500〜1000A程度ごく薄く成膜し、その上に保 護コートであるトップコートを塗布する構造となっている。そのために皮膜の耐久力が 乏しく、洗車ブラシなどによる磨耗や砂利によるチッビング ·風雨や強!ヽ紫外線の影 響にさらされる自動車用途には性能を満足せず使用が困難であった。  [0020] In the conventional chromium sputtering method for decorative resin moldings, an undercoat is applied on the base plastic, and a very thin film of chromium sputter is formed on the order of 500-1000A. It has a structure in which a certain top coat is applied. For this reason, the durability of the film is poor, and wear due to car wash brushes, chipping due to gravel, wind and rain, and strong!
[0021] 更に、榭脂成形品の上に性能向上のためハードコートなどの耐磨耗塗装をオーバ 一コートしたとしても、湿式電気めつき法による榭脂めっきの金属膜の耐久性 '耐摩 耗性には及ばないため、自動車部品のめっき用途には湿式の榭脂めっきが使われ るのが通例であった。  [0021] Furthermore, even if a hard coating or other wear-resistant coating is overcoated on the resin molded product to improve its performance, the durability of the metal film by the wet electroplating method can be reduced. In general, wet resin plating is used for the plating of automobile parts.
従来の装飾用途のクロムスパッタ法では、アンダーコートやトップコート 'ハードコー ト塗装に起因するゴミ'ブッなどの歩留り低下の不安が大きぐ多額な投資で塗装用 クリーンルームを設置する必要があった。  In the conventional chromium sputtering method for decorative use, it was necessary to install a clean room for painting with a large investment, with a great deal of concern about yield drop such as undercoat and top coat 'garbage caused by hard coat painting'.
[0022] 本発明は、カゝかる問題点を解決するために創案されたものである。すなわち、本発 明の目的は、従来のエッチング工程と導電ィ匕工程におけるクロム酸と硫酸との混酸 のような化学薬品を使用しない処理法、即ち乾式法により榭脂成形品に榭脂表面粗 化をすると共に導電性を付与することで、このような化学薬品によって榭脂の表層が 劣化することがなくなり、榭脂間剥離によるめつき浮き'割れが防止でき、榭脂めっき 品の安全性は確保できる装飾めつき品の製造方法を提供することにもある。  [0022] The present invention has been devised in order to solve the problem. That is, the object of the present invention is to provide a resin surface roughening to a resin molded product by a processing method that does not use chemicals such as a mixed acid of chromic acid and sulfuric acid in the conventional etching process and conductive process, that is, a dry method. By adding conductivity and imparting conductivity, the surface layer of the resin does not deteriorate due to such chemicals, and it is possible to prevent cracking due to peeling between the oils and prevent cracking, and the safety of the resin-plated product Is also to provide a method for producing a decorative garment that can be secured.
[0023] 本発明の他の目的は、湿式電気めつき法による榭脂めっきの金属膜の耐久性 -耐 摩耗性を維持し、塗装用クリーンルームなどの多額な設備投資や、製品のゴミ'ブッ などの歩留り低下リスクが高い塗装工程を不要にすることにある。 [0023] Another object of the present invention is to maintain the durability-abrasion resistance of the metal film of the resin plating by the wet electroplating method, to invest a large amount of equipment such as a clean room for painting, This is to eliminate the need for a painting process that has a high yield reduction risk.
本発明の成膜皮膜は真空チャンバ一中でのスパッタされた金属と湿式電気めつき による金属めつき膜であり、積層する膜はすべて金属となっており自動車用途に耐え る耐磨耗性や耐久性などが付与可能である。また、塗装工程がないのでゴミ'ブッ不 良を低減できる。従って、従来の一般的な湿式法による榭脂めっき法と装飾用クロム スパッタ法の欠点を同時に解消することができる装飾めつき品の製造方法を提供す ることにめる。  The deposited film of the present invention is a metal-plated film formed by sputtering and wet electric plating in a vacuum chamber, and the laminated films are all metal, so that they have wear resistance that can withstand automotive applications. Durability and the like can be imparted. In addition, since there is no painting process, it is possible to reduce trash defects. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a decorative article that can simultaneously eliminate the disadvantages of a conventional wet plating method and a decorative chromium sputtering method.
[0024] また、本発明の目的は、榭脂成形品の変形抑制や低温でハイレートにスパッタリン グができるように改良したスパッタリング装置を使用することで、乾式法で榭脂成形品 に導電性を付与することにより、湿式法ではめつきが難し力つた榭脂材料のめっきを 可能にして、多種類の榭脂成形品の前処理工程を容易に実施することができる装飾 めっき品の製造方法を提供することにもある。  [0024] In addition, the object of the present invention is to use a sputtering apparatus improved so as to suppress deformation of the resin molded product and to perform sputtering at a high rate at a low temperature. A method for producing a decorative plated product that makes it possible to perform the pretreatment process of various types of resin moldings by enabling the plating of strong resin materials that are difficult to fit by the wet method. There is also to provide.
[0025] 更に、本発明の目的は、真空チャンバ一内で榭脂成形品の全周囲が金属ターゲッ トに向くように回転させることで、過熱することなく凹凸のある榭脂成形品の表面に金 属を均一に成膜することができる榭脂成形品を固定する吊り掛け治具を提供すること にある。  [0025] Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to rotate the entire surface of the resin molded product so as to face the metal target in the vacuum chamber, so that the surface of the resin molded product having unevenness can be obtained without overheating. An object of the present invention is to provide a hanging jig for fixing a resin molded product capable of uniformly forming a metal film.

発明の効果  The invention's effect
[0035] 上述したように、本発明の製造方法では、榭脂表面洗浄'活性ィ匕工程 (S1)におい てスパッタリング装置内で、榭脂成形品 (W)の表面を、プラズマ処理で洗浄及び表 面改質活性化し、次に、金属薄膜成膜工程 (S2)で同じくスパッタリング装置内で、 酸素との結合力の強 、金属の単一、又は酸素との結合力の強 、金属を含む合金を 、成膜し、続 ヽて、導電化膜成膜工程 (S4)でこの榭脂成形品 (W)に成膜した金属 薄膜上に、所定の金属をスパッタリングにより導電化膜を成膜することで、乾式法によ り榭脂成形品 (W)に成膜を行い導電性を付与することができる。そこで、従来の湿式 法では不可能であった新素材特殊材料に低温で成膜できるので、従来のように加熱 により榭脂成形品 (W)が軟ィ匕し、更に変形するといつた不具合を防止することができ る  [0035] As described above, in the production method of the present invention, the surface of the resin molded product (W) is cleaned and treated by plasma treatment in the sputtering apparatus in the resin surface cleaning 'active process (S1). Activated surface modification, and then in the metal thin film deposition step (S2), also in the sputtering apparatus, the strength of the bond strength with oxygen, single metal or the strength of bond strength with oxygen, including the metal An alloy is formed, and then a conductive film is formed by sputtering a predetermined metal on the metal thin film formed on the resin molded product (W) in the conductive film formation step (S4). By doing so, it is possible to impart conductivity by forming a film on the resin molded article (W) by a dry method. Therefore, it is possible to form a film on a new special material that was impossible with the conventional wet method at a low temperature. Can be prevented
スパッタリング装置内において、凹凸面を有する榭脂成形品 (W)を回転させながら その表面にスパッタリング処理することにより、その表面に金属を均一に成膜すること ができる。  In the sputtering apparatus, a metal film can be uniformly formed on the surface of the resin molded article (W) having an uneven surface by performing sputtering treatment on the surface while rotating it.
[0036] 更に、電気めつき後あるいは乾式法めつき後の最外層に高付加 ·高機能膜 (透明 性保護膜、高硬度膜など)を付与することができるため、乾式法を利用しためっき前 処理技術以外の表面処理技術としての応用が可能である。  [0036] Furthermore, since a high addition / high function film (transparent protective film, high hardness film, etc.) can be applied to the outermost layer after electric plating or after dry plating, plating using a dry method is possible. Application as surface treatment technology other than pretreatment technology is possible.
榭脂との密着性を得る目的で処理する金属薄膜成膜工程 (S2)の次に成膜表面活 性化処理工程 (S3)を付け加えることで、導電化膜成膜工程 (S4)の際に処理する導 電化膜の密着力が強固になる。  By adding the film surface activation treatment process (S3) after the metal thin film deposition process (S2), which is processed for the purpose of obtaining adhesion to the resin, the conductive film deposition process (S4) The adhesion of the conductive film to be processed is strengthened.
導電ィ匕膜成膜工程 (S4)の次に通常の榭脂めっきと同様な電気めつきを施すだけ で、最終の榭脂めっき製品を生産することができる。  After the conductive film formation step (S4), the final resin-plated product can be produced simply by applying the same electrical plating as in normal resin-plating.
[0037] また、榭脂めっきの前処理、即ち榭脂成形品 (W)の導電化処理にっ 、て、従来の ような 6価クロムを用いる湿式法力 乾式法に変更することにより、榭脂めっき製造に おける環境負荷が大きいィ匕学薬品を使用する湿式導電ィ匕処理ではないため、環境 負荷物質を激減することができる。従来のように、 6価クロム等の廃液処理が不必要 又は激減することができる。 [0037] In addition, the pretreatment of the resin plating, that is, the conductive treatment of the resin molded product (W), Wet process power using hexavalent chrome As a result of changing to the dry process, it is not a wet conductive process that uses chemicals that have a large environmental impact in the production of resin plating. Can do. As before, waste liquid treatment such as hexavalent chromium is unnecessary or drastically reduced.
[0038] 本発明の吊り掛け治具では、真空チャンバ一内において、榭脂成形品 (W)を吊り 掛け治具(11)に固定し、この吊り掛け治具(11)を回転させながらスパッタリング処理 することにより、凹凸形状の榭脂成形品 (W)であっても金属ターゲット(52)力 等間 隔を維持しているので、榭脂成形品 (W)の表側と裏側の両面は勿論のこと、凹凸面 を有する榭脂成形品 (W)の全表面に金属を均一に成膜することができる。  [0038] In the hanging jig of the present invention, the resin molded product (W) is fixed to the hanging jig (11) in the vacuum chamber, and sputtering is performed while rotating the hanging jig (11). By processing, even the uneven shaped resin molded product (W) maintains the same distance as the metal target (52) force, so of course both the front and back sides of the resin molded product (W) In other words, the metal can be uniformly formed on the entire surface of the molded resin article (W) having an uneven surface.
[0039] また、真空チャンバ一内において、上下の回転板(14)を回転させ、同時に個々の 吊り下げ棒(12)を回転させながらスパッタリング処理することにより、榭脂成形品 (W )であって金属ターゲット(52)の金属から等間隔を維持することにより、凹凸面を有 する榭脂成形品 (W)の全表面に均一に成膜することができるだけでなぐ榭脂成形 品(W)を金属ターゲット(52)の金属力も遠ざけて冷却することもできる。  [0039] In addition, in the vacuum chamber, the upper and lower rotating plates (14) are rotated, and at the same time, the individual suspension rods (12) are rotated while performing the sputtering treatment to obtain the resin molded product (W). By maintaining an equal distance from the metal of the metal target (52), the resin molded product (W) can only be uniformly formed on the entire surface of the resin molded product (W) with an uneven surface. The metal target (52) can also be cooled away from the metal force.

[0042] 本発明のスパッタリングによる榭脂導電ィ匕を利用した装飾めつき品の製造方法は、 榭脂めっきの湿式導電化法を乾式導電化法へ変更した前処理方法である。その導 電化後は通常通り湿式電気めつきする。 [0042] The method for producing a decorative garnish using the resin conductive material by sputtering according to the present invention is a pretreatment method in which the wet conductive method of the resin plating is changed to the dry conductive method. After the electrification, wet electroplating is performed as usual.
実施例 1  Example 1
[0043] 以下、本発明の好ましい実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
図 1は実施例 1のスパッタリングによる榭脂導電ィ匕を利用した装飾めつき品の製造 方法を示す工程図である。図 2は光沢ニッケルめっき方法の一例を示すものであり、 (a)は榭脂導電化処理の工程図、 (b)は湿式電気めつき工程図である。  FIG. 1 is a process diagram showing a method for producing a decorative garment using the resin conductive material by sputtering in Example 1. FIG. 2 shows an example of the bright nickel plating method. (A) is a process diagram of a resin conductive treatment, and (b) is a wet electroplating process diagram.
本発明の実施例 1のスパッタリングによる榭脂導電ィ匕を利用した装飾めつき品の製 造方法は、榭脂成形品 Wを治具にセットし、榭脂表面洗浄'活性ィ匕工程 S1で、スパ ッタリング装置内において、真空雰囲気状態で榭脂成形品 Wの表面をプラズマ処理 で洗浄及び表面改質活性化し、次に、金属薄膜成膜工程 S2で、同じくスパッタリン グ装置内において、榭脂成形品 Wの表面に、酸素との結合力の強い金属の単一、 又は酸素との結合力の強い金属を含む合金を、をスパッタリングにより成膜し、続い て金属薄膜成膜工程 S2の次の成膜表面活性化処理工程 S3で、榭脂成形品 Wに成 膜した金属薄膜をプラズマ処理による表面改質処理で活性化し、最後に導電化膜成 膜工程 S4で、榭脂成形品 Wに成膜した金属薄膜上に、所定の金属をスパッタリング により導電化膜を成膜する方法である。  In the manufacturing method of the decorative product using the resin conductive material by sputtering in Example 1 of the present invention, the resin molded product W is set in a jig, and the resin surface cleaning 'active process step S1 is performed. In the sputtering apparatus, the surface of the resin molded product W is cleaned and activated by plasma treatment in a vacuum atmosphere. Next, in the metal thin film forming step S2, the surface of the resin molded article W is also cleaned in the sputtering apparatus. A single layer of a metal having a strong binding force to oxygen or an alloy containing a metal having a strong binding force to oxygen is formed on the surface of the molded fat W by sputtering. In the next film surface activation treatment step S3, the metal thin film formed on the resin molded product W is activated by surface modification treatment by plasma treatment, and finally in the conductive film formation step S4, the resin molded product is activated. Sputtering a predetermined metal on a metal thin film deposited on W This is a method of forming a conductive film.
このように、乾式法のマグネトロン'スパッタ法等により、榭脂成形品 Wの表面改質と 金属成膜を行い、導電性を付与する。この榭脂導電化処理を施した榭脂成形品 W は治具力も取り外し、後述するように電気めつき工程 S5〜S 10で電気めつき処理を 施す。 [0044] マグネトロン'スパッタリングで用いるスパッタリング装置は、真空雰囲気内において プラズマ放電により励起されたアルゴン等の衝突によりタ金属ターゲットから原子を飛 び出させ、榭脂成形品 Wに成膜させる装置である。このスパッタリング処理により榭脂 成形品 Wにターゲットの金属を成膜し、または榭脂成形品 Wにプラズマを照射する。 In this manner, the surface modification of the resin molded product W and metal film formation are performed by a dry-type magnetron sputtering method or the like to impart conductivity. The resin molded product W that has been subjected to the resin conductive treatment also removes the jig force, and is subjected to an electrical plating process in steps S5 to S10 as will be described later. [0044] A sputtering apparatus used in magnetron sputtering is an apparatus that deposits atoms on a metal target W by depositing atoms from a metal target by collision of argon or the like excited by plasma discharge in a vacuum atmosphere. . By this sputtering treatment, a metal film of the target is formed on the resin molded product W, or the resin molded product W is irradiated with plasma.
[0045] 本発明の装飾めつき品となる榭脂成形品 Wは、 自動車用榭脂めつき部品、シャヮ 一や蛇口部品等の住宅関連榭脂めっき部品等のいわゆる「外観製品」である。従来 の装飾めつき品の製造方法では榭脂成形品 Wの榭脂間剥離でめっき膜が浮き上が り、手を切るなどの人身致傷の原因なることがあつたので、「外観製品」の外観の仕上 力 Sりは重要である。因みに、プリント基板のような「機能製品」であれば、このような装 飾めつきを施す必要はな 、。  [0045] The resin molded product W, which is a decorative garment according to the present invention, is a so-called "appearance product" such as a resin glazed part for automobiles, a housing-related mortar plated part such as a chassis or faucet part. In the conventional manufacturing method for decorative products, the plating film floats up due to the separation of the resin-molded product W between the oil and grease, which may cause personal injury such as cutting hands. The finishing power of the appearance is important. Incidentally, if it is a “functional product” such as a printed circuit board, there is no need to apply such decoration.
[0046] 榭脂表面洗浄'活性ィ匕工程 S1では、真空度を例えば 10_ 1 (= 10の— 1乗) Pa程 度の真空チャンバ一のような真空雰囲気内で榭脂表面をプラズマ処理により洗浄及 び表面改質活性化する。例えば、空気を微量残留させた状態でアルゴンプラズマ処 理する。又はアルゴンと微量酸素を注入してのプラズマ処理をする。 [0046] In榭脂surface cleaning 'activity spoon step S1, the degree of vacuum, for example 10 _ 1 (= 10 - 1 power) Pa extent plasma treatment榭脂surface in a vacuum atmosphere such as a vacuum chamber one Activates cleaning and surface modification. For example, argon plasma treatment is performed with a small amount of air remaining. Alternatively, plasma treatment is performed by injecting argon and trace oxygen.
この榭脂表面洗浄'活性ィ匕工程 S1は、マグネトロン'スパッタ法の他に、アークブラ ズマ蒸着法でのプラズマ処理法を使用することができる。  This resin surface cleaning 'active step S1 can use a plasma treatment method by an arc plasma deposition method in addition to the magnetron' sputtering method.
[0047] 金属薄膜成膜工程 S2は、真空チャンバ一のような真空雰囲気内でマグネトロン'ス ノ ッタ法により、榭脂とめっき膜との密着性を確保するための工程である。真空度を 例えば 10_23 (10の— 2〜3乗) Pa程度に引き上げ、プラズマによって 0. 01〜50% にイオン化されたクロム、モリブデン、タングステン、チタン、ジルコニウム、アルミ-ゥ ム、インジウム、ニッケル、ノ ラジウムなどの酸素との結合力の強い金属 (親酸素金属 )の単一もしくは、それらの金属を含む合金を榭脂成形品 Wに成膜する。 [0047] The metal thin film forming step S2 is a step for securing the adhesion between the resin and the plating film by the magnetron-sutter method in a vacuum atmosphere such as a vacuum chamber. Vacuum, for example 10 _2 ~ 3 (10 - 2-3 square) pulled about Pa, chromium ionized to 0.01 to 50% by the plasma, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium, zirconium, aluminum - © beam, indium A single metal of a metal having a strong binding force with oxygen, such as nickel, noradium (an oxygen-rich metal) or an alloy containing these metals is formed on the resin molded product W.
[0048] また、金属薄膜成膜工程 S 2では、ニッケルクロム合金 (合金比 = 50 : 50)や金属ク ロムを用いることが好ましい。榭脂とめっき膜との密着性を確保するための金属薄膜 は、榭脂との密着性が良好なだけではなぐ次工程の電気めつきを円滑に処理する ための導電ィ匕膜との密着性が良好な金属を使用する必要がある。金属薄膜成膜ェ 程 S2では、クロム単体、クロム ·-ッケル合金、アルミニウム、銅合金などを使用するこ とが好ましい。合金比率は特に規定しない。榭脂の種類や成形条件等によって密着 の良い成膜金属材料を選択する。例えば金属銅を使用することができる。めっき密着 力を確保するための膜厚に制限はないが、めっき応力等を考えると 0. 05 m〜0. 5 μ m )適当であつ 7こ。 [0048] In the metal thin film forming step S2, it is preferable to use a nickel chromium alloy (alloy ratio = 50: 50) or metal chromium. The metal thin film to ensure the adhesion between the resin and the plating film is not only the good adhesion with the resin, but also the adhesion with the conductive film to smoothly handle the subsequent electric mating. It is necessary to use a metal with good properties. In the metal thin film forming step S2, it is preferable to use chromium alone, a chromium nickel alloy, aluminum, a copper alloy, or the like. The alloy ratio is not specified. Adhesion depending on the type of resin and molding conditions Select a good deposition metal material. For example, metallic copper can be used. There is no limit to the film thickness to ensure plating adhesion, but considering the plating stress, etc., 0.05 m to 0.5 μm) is appropriate.
[0049] 金属薄膜成膜工程 S2が終了した榭脂成形品 Wに、更に成膜表面活性ィ匕処理工 程 S3で活性ィ匕処理を施すことが好ましい。例えば、榭脂成形品 Wに 0. 01 π!〜 2. 0 μ mで成膜した金属薄膜をアルゴンプラズマ処理による表面改質処理で活性ィ匕す る。これにより榭脂成形品 Wと金属薄膜との密着力が高くなる。  [0049] It is preferable that the resin molded product W after the metal thin film forming step S2 is further subjected to the active surface treatment in the film formation surface active surface treatment step S3. For example, in a resin molded product W, 0.01 π! The metal thin film formed at ~ 2.0 μm is activated by surface modification treatment with argon plasma treatment. This increases the adhesion between the resin molded product W and the metal thin film.
[0050] 導電化膜成膜工程 S4は、榭脂成形品 Wに電気めつき処理するための導電化膜を 成膜する工程である。電気めつき用の導電化膜は、電気めつき処理するための導電 化膜であるが、乾式めつき法で形成しためっき膜と電気めつき法で成膜する膜とのめ つき密着性を確保するための酸処理や希薄な酸化剤によるソフトエッチングもしくは、 電解活性ィ匕処理に耐えうる金属膜である必要がある。そこで、この導電化膜成膜ェ 程 S4による膜厚は、例えば金属銅の場合は 0. 力ら 2. O /z mが適当であった。 この導電ィ匕膜成膜工程 S4による成膜は、下層金属との密着力が良ぐ更に後工程 である湿式電気めつき (電気銅めつきや電気ニッケルめっき)の前処理 (活性化工程) S5が簡単で密着性も高い金属であれば金属銅以外の金属を成膜することができる。  [0050] Conductive film forming step S4 is a step of forming a conductive film on the resin molded product W for electroplating. A conductive film for electroplating is a conductive film for electroplating treatment, but it provides adhesion between the plating film formed by the dry plating method and the film formed by the electroplating method. It must be a metal film that can withstand acid treatment, soft etching with a dilute oxidizing agent, or electrolytic activation treatment. Therefore, the appropriate film thickness by the conductive film forming step S4 is, for example, 0. force and 2. O / zm in the case of metallic copper. This conductive film formation process S4 film formation is a pre-process (activation process) of wet electroplating (electrocopper plating and electronickel plating), which is a subsequent process that has good adhesion to the underlying metal. A metal other than metallic copper can be deposited if S5 is simple and has high adhesion.
[0051] 図 3はスパッタリング処理の際に榭脂成形品 Wを固定する吊り掛け治具の一例を示 す斜視図である。図 4は吊り掛け治具の吊り下げ棒と金属ターゲットとの位置関係を 示す説明平断面図である。  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of a hanging jig for fixing the resin molded product W during the sputtering process. FIG. 4 is an explanatory plan sectional view showing the positional relationship between the hanging rod of the hanging jig and the metal target.
本発明のスパッタリング処理の際に榭脂成形品を固定する吊り掛け治具 11は、真 空チャンバ一(図示していない)内において回転するように設けた吊り下げ棒 12と、こ の吊り下げ棒 12に榭脂成形品 Wを固定する引っ掛け具 13を取り付けたものである。 このよう構成した吊り掛け治具 11には、各引っ掛け具 13に榭脂成形品 Wを取り付け る。図示例の榭脂成形品 Wは自動車のドアハンドルを示している。このドアハンドル は一例に過ぎず、凹凸形状を有する榭脂成形品 Wであれば本発明の吊り掛け治具 11に適している。  The hanging jig 11 for fixing the resin molded product during the sputtering process of the present invention includes a hanging rod 12 provided to rotate in a vacuum chamber (not shown), and the hanging jig 12. A hook 13 for fixing the resin molded product W is attached to the rod 12. In the hanging jig 11 configured as described above, the resin molded product W is attached to each hook 13. In the illustrated example, the resin molded product W indicates a door handle of an automobile. This door handle is only an example, and a resin molded product W having an uneven shape is suitable for the hanging jig 11 of the present invention.
[0052] 榭脂成形品 Wを取り付けて 、る吊り掛け治具 11は、スパッタリング装置の真空チヤ ンバー内に入れ、プラズマ放電により励起されたアルゴン等の衝突により金属ターゲ ット 52より原子を飛び出させ、榭脂成形品 (W)に成膜させる際に利用する治具であ る。特に実施例 1では、真空チャンバ一内において吊り掛け治具 11を回転させなが らスパッタリング処理することにより、凹凸形状の榭脂成形品 Wであってもその全表面 に金属を均一に成膜することができる。 [0052] A resin molded product W is attached, and the hanging jig 11 is placed in a vacuum chamber of a sputtering apparatus, and a metal target is formed by collision of argon or the like excited by plasma discharge. This jig is used when atoms are ejected from the base 52 to form a film on the resin molded product (W). In particular, in Example 1, by performing sputtering while rotating the hanging jig 11 in the vacuum chamber, a metal film can be uniformly formed on the entire surface of the concavo-convex shaped resin molded product W. can do.
[0053] 図 5は真空チャンバ一内に入れる吊り掛け治具を示す斜視図である。 FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a hanging jig placed in the vacuum chamber.
吊り掛け治具 11は、真空チャンバ一内において、上下方向に配置した 2枚の回転 板 14と、上下回転板 14の間に、円周方向に間隔を開けて着脱自在に立て掛けて使 用するようになっている。上下回転板 14の間において、吊り掛け治具 11の間に隔壁 15を設けた。この隔壁 15は、金属ターゲット 52からスパッタリングされた金属が目的 とする榭脂成形品 Wに隣接する別の榭脂成形品 Wに成膜することを防止するためで ある。  The hanging jig 11 is used in a vacuum chamber that is detachably stood between two rotating plates 14 arranged in the vertical direction and the vertical rotating plate 14 with an interval in the circumferential direction. It is like that. A partition wall 15 is provided between the hanging jigs 11 between the upper and lower rotating plates 14. This partition wall 15 is for preventing the metal sputtered from the metal target 52 from being deposited on another resin molded product W adjacent to the intended resin molded product W.
[0054] 吊り掛け治具 11では、真空チャンバ一内において、上下の回転板 14を回転させ、 同時に個々の吊り掛け治具 11を回転させながらスパッタリング処理することができる 。即ち、個々の榭脂成形品 Wは、自転しながら公転しているので、凹凸形状の榭脂 成形品 Wであっても金属ターゲット 52から等距離を維持することにより、凹凸面を有 する榭脂成形品 Wにその表面に均一に成膜することができる。更に、榭脂成形品 W を金属ターゲット 52から遠ざけ、冷却することもできる。  In the hanging jig 11, the sputtering process can be performed while rotating the upper and lower rotating plates 14 and simultaneously rotating the individual hanging jigs 11 in the vacuum chamber. In other words, since each of the resin molded products W revolves while rotating, even if the resin molded product W has an uneven shape, it can have an uneven surface by maintaining an equal distance from the metal target 52. A film can be uniformly formed on the surface of the fat molded product W. Further, the resin molded product W can be cooled away from the metal target 52.
[0055] このような構造のスパッタリング装置内において、榭脂表面洗浄'活性ィ匕工程 S1で は、真空雰囲気状態で吊り掛け治具 11に取り付けた榭脂成形品 wを自転するように 回転させながらプラズマ処理で洗浄及び表面改質活性ィ匕し、金属薄膜成膜工程 S2 では、引っ掛け具 12に取り付けた榭脂成形品 Wを金属ターゲット 52の前へ公転する ように移動させ、そこで自転させながら、金属をスパッタリングにより樹脂との密着性を 確保し、続いて、導電ィ匕膜成膜工程 S4では、金属薄膜成膜工程 S2により金属薄膜 を成膜した榭脂成形品 Wを別の金属ターゲット 52の前に公転するように移動させ、 そこで自転させながら、スパッタリングにより導電化膜を成膜して榭脂導電化処理を 完了させる。  [0055] In the sputtering apparatus having such a structure, in the resin surface cleaning 'activation process S1, the resin molded product w attached to the hanging jig 11 in a vacuum atmosphere is rotated so as to rotate. However, cleaning and surface modification activities were performed by plasma treatment, and in the metal thin film forming step S2, the resin molded product W attached to the hook 12 was moved so as to revolve in front of the metal target 52 and rotated there. However, the adhesion of the metal to the resin is ensured by sputtering. Subsequently, in the conductive film forming step S4, the resin molded product W formed with the metal thin film in the metal thin film forming step S2 is replaced with another metal. The conductive film is moved to revolve before the target 52 and rotated there, and a conductive film is formed by sputtering to complete the resin conductive process.
[0056] このように榭脂表面洗浄'活性ィ匕工程 S1、金属薄膜成膜工程 S2及び導電ィ匕膜成 膜工程 S4が終了した乾式めつきで導電ィ匕処理まで終わった榭脂成形品は、真空チ ヤンバー力 取り出し、電気めつき用の治具に掛け替えて通常の電気めつき工程で 仕上げる。 [0056] In this way, the resin molded product finished with the conductive surface treatment after the dry surface finishing after the resin surface cleaning 'active process S1, the metal thin film forming process S2, and the conductive film forming process S4. The vacuum Take out the Yanbar force, replace it with a jig for electric fitting, and finish it with the usual electric fitting process.
[0057] 湿式電気めつきでは、図 2 (b)に示すように、マグネトロン'スパッタリングにより榭脂 導電ィ匕処理を施した榭脂成形品 Wを活性ィ匕工程 S5で乾式めつき膜を活性ィ匕する。 この活性ィ匕工程 S5は、電気めつきとの密着を確保するための工程である。例えば、 乾式めつきの最終導電ィ匕金属として銅を用いたときは、 20gZLの過硫酸 Na溶液に 30秒間浸漬するソフトエッチング工程でおこなった。なお、この活性ィ匕工程 S5は、乾 式めつきで使う導電ィ匕金属の種類によって様々な方法がある。乾式めつき膜と電気 めっき膜との密着性が確保できる方法であれば、その方法は限定しな 、。  [0057] In wet electroplating, as shown in Fig. 2 (b), a molded resin W, which has been subjected to a resin conductive treatment by magnetron sputtering, is activated in step S5. I'll do it. This activation process S5 is a process for ensuring close contact with the electric plating. For example, when copper was used as the final conductive metal for dry plating, it was performed in a soft etching process that was immersed in a 20 gZL sodium persulfate solution for 30 seconds. In addition, there are various methods for this activation process S5 depending on the type of conductive metal used for dry plating. The method is not limited as long as the adhesion between the dry plating film and the electroplating film can be secured.
[0058] 電気めつき工程 S6〜S 10は光沢硫酸銅めつき等通常の榭脂めっきや金属めつき に用いられる電気めつきが適応できる。例えば図示するように光沢硫酸銅めつき S6、 半光沢ニッケルめっき S7、光沢ニッケルめっき S8、 MPニッケルめっき(マイクロポー ラスニッケルめっき) S9の順で各めつき処理を施す。  [0058] Electric plating processes S6 to S10 can be applied to normal plating such as bright copper sulfate plating or metal plating. For example, as shown in the figure, each plating process is performed in the order of bright copper sulfate plating S6, semi-bright nickel plating S7, bright nickel plating S8, MP nickel plating (microporous nickel plating) S9.
最後に 3価クロムめつき、錫 Zニッケル合金めつき、ルテニウム又は金めつきなどの 装飾仕上げめつき S10を施してめっき処理を終了する。勿論、従来から利用されてい る 6価クロム力 のクロムめつきも使用可能である。  Finally, apply plating finish S10 with trivalent chromium plating, tin Z nickel alloy plating, ruthenium or gold plating, and finish the plating process. Of course, the conventional chromium plating of hexavalent chromium can be used.
この電気めつき工程 S6〜S 10は一例であって、これ以外の金属をめつき処理でき ることは勿論である。  This electric plating process S6 to S10 is an example, and it is a matter of course that other metals can be plated.

(1)予備試験 (榭脂プレート)  (1) Preliminary test (grease plate)
榭脂プレートを使って材料別の密着強度、成膜前の樹脂の表面洗浄'活性化に酸 素注入の効果があるか、榭脂材料による差、無機フィラーの影響等を概略的に調べ た結果を図 8の「表 1 プレート密着測定結果」に示した。この表 1の結果のように榭脂 表面洗浄処理時の酸素ガス注入によって密着性が向上することがわ力つた。但し、 A BS榭脂プレートに関しては酸素ガス注入の効果は高くな力つた。 ABS榭脂プレート 試験には榭脂厚みを変えた 3段プレート(ゲート =3mmZ2mmZlmm=下段)を使 つて試験をおこなった。膜厚が厚いところの方が密着力が高ぐ形状や成形条件でも 密着が変化することを予測させる結果となった。材料的には、ナイロン系、 ABS系の 榭脂の密着強度が高 、ことがわ力つた。  Using a resin plate, we examined roughly the adhesion strength by material, whether there was an effect of oxygen injection on the surface cleaning of the resin before film formation, the difference depending on the resin material, the influence of inorganic filler, etc. The results are shown in “Table 1 Plate adhesion measurement results” in FIG. As shown in Table 1, the adhesion was improved by the oxygen gas injection during the surface cleaning of the resin. However, the effect of oxygen gas injection was strong for the ABS resin plate. The ABS resin plate test was conducted using a three-stage plate (gate = 3mmZ2mmZlmm = bottom) with different resin thickness. The thicker the film thickness, the more closely the shape and molding conditions were, and it was predicted that the adhesion would change. In terms of materials, the adhesion strength of nylon-based and ABS-based resins was high, and it proved powerful.

Two types of metallurgy metal for plating adhesion were tested: nickel 'chromium alloy (alloy ratio = 50:50) and chromium (99.9%). The conductive film used metal copper (99.9%) as a target.

図 10〜図 12の「表 3 実製品密着測定結果 (Ni— Cr) Nol」、「表 4 実製品密着 測定結果 (Ni— Cr) No2」にニッケル 'クロム合金での結果を、「表 5 実製品密着測 定結果 (Cr)」にクロムでの結果を示した。  Figures 10 to 12 show “Table 3 Actual product adhesion measurement results (Ni—Cr) Nol” and “Table 4 Actual product adhesion measurement results (Ni—Cr) No2”. Actual product adhesion measurement results (Cr) ”show the results for chromium.
「表 2 スパッタリング実験条件」に示した実験条件 4、実験条件 8、実験条件 10の 条件で密着力の高い榭脂めっきが作れることがゎカゝつた。特に、 PAZABS榭脂は 密着力が max4. 75KgfZcm=約 47NZcmの高い数値を示した。その他の材料で も適正な条件を選択すれば量産化が可能である。  It was found that resin plating with high adhesion could be made under the conditions of experimental condition 4, experimental condition 8, and experimental condition 10 shown in “Table 2 Sputtering experimental conditions”. In particular, PAZABS resin showed a high adhesion value of max 4.75 kgfZcm = about 47 NZcm. Other materials can be mass-produced by selecting appropriate conditions.
[0063] (4)サーマルショック試験結果 [0063] (4) Thermal shock test results
PCZABS榭脂めっき試作品 (NiZCr実験条件 10の製品)及び PA/ABS榭脂 めっき試作品(同じ条件)を 30°C/0. 5Hr→80°C/0. 5Hrを 1サイクルとして、 120 サイクルのサーマルショック試験をおこなったが、パート部分の榭脂層薄膜剥離によ るめつき浮き現象は確認されな力つた。従って、本発明の方法を使えば安全な榭脂 めっき部品を量産化できることがわ力つた。 PCZABS resin plating prototype (product of NiZCr experimental condition 10) and PA / ABS resin plating prototype (same condition) with 30 ° C / 0.5Hr → 80 ° C / 0.5Hr as one cycle, 120 A cycle thermal shock test was conducted. Therefore, it has been proved that the use of the method of the present invention makes it possible to mass-produce safe resin-plated parts.
[0064] 本発明のスパッタリングによる榭脂導電ィ匕を利用した装飾めつき品の製造方法は、 榭脂めっきの前処理にスパッタリングの乾式めつき法を利用していので、従来のクロ ム酸による導電ィ匕処理法と異なり種々の榭脂を対象とすることができる。例えば、 AB S榭脂(アクリロニトリル/ブタジエン/スチレン)、 PCZABS榭脂(ポリカーボネイト Z アクリロニトリル/ブタジエン/スチレン)、 PC/PET榭脂(ポリカーボネイト/ポリェチ レンテレフタレート)、 PCZPBT榭脂(ポリカーボネイト Zポリブチレンテレフタレート) 、 LCP榭脂 (液晶ポリマー)、 PA榭脂(ポリアミド)、 PA/ABS (ポリアミド Zアタリ口- トリル/ブタジエン/スチレン)、 PPE榭脂(ポリフエ-レンエーテル)、 PP榭脂(ポリプロ ピレン)、 PPS榭脂(ポリフエ-レンサルファイド)、 SPS榭脂(結晶性ポリスチレン)、 P S榭脂(ポリスチレン)、 MMA榭脂 (メタクリル酸メチル)、エポキシ榭脂、ウレタン榭脂 、 PET榭脂(ポリエチレンテレフタレート)、 PBT榭脂(ポリブチレンテレフタレート)、 P C榭脂(ポリカーボネイト)等がある。更にこれらの榭脂のポリマーァロイも対象とするこ とがでさる。  [0064] The method for producing a decorative messenger product using a resin conductive material by sputtering according to the present invention uses a dry stencil method of sputtering for pretreatment of the resin plating, so that the conventional chromic acid method is used. Unlike the conductive wrinkle treatment method, various types of resin can be targeted. For example, AB S resin (acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene), PCZABS resin (polycarbonate Z acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene), PC / PET resin (polycarbonate / polyethylene terephthalate), PCZPBT resin (polycarbonate Z polybutylene terephthalate) , LCP resin (liquid crystal polymer), PA resin (polyamide), PA / ABS (polyamide Z atari mouth-tolyl / butadiene / styrene), PPE resin (polyphenylene ether), PP resin (polypropylene), PPS resin (polyphenylene sulfide), SPS resin (crystalline polystyrene), PS resin (polystyrene), MMA resin (methyl methacrylate), epoxy resin, urethane resin, PET resin (polyethylene terephthalate) , PBT resin (polybutylene terephthalate), PC resin (polycarbonate), etc. . Furthermore, it is possible to target polymer alloys of these resins.
[0065] 特にナイロン系榭脂と乾式めつき膜との密着性が良い。ナイロン系榭脂は、湿式め つきでは塩酸等のエッチング処理により製品表面が荒れてしまい綺麗なめっき外観 が得ることが難 、材料である力 乾式法では製品外観が悪くなることはなく ABS榭 脂めつき品のような綺麗な外観を得ることができた。  [0065] In particular, the adhesion between the nylon-based resin and the dry plating film is good. Nylon-based resin is difficult to obtain a beautiful plating appearance due to etching treatment with hydrochloric acid or the like when wet-coated, and it is difficult to obtain a beautiful plating appearance. A beautiful appearance like a messy product was obtained.
[0066] 一般的に榭脂めっきに使用される ABS榭脂においても lKgfZcm (9. 8N/cm) 以上のめっき密着力が得られた。本発明の乾式めつきを利用した榭脂めっき前処理 工程 (榭脂の導電ィ匕工程)では、めっき密着強度をピーリング強度で 0. 5Kgf/cm ( 4. 9NZcm)を合格目標値として試験をおこなった。なお、自動車規格では 1. OKgf /cm (9. 8NZcm)を努力目標値として設定されているが、実使用上 0. 5Kgf/cm (4. 9NZcm)で使用可能である。  [0066] Even with ABS resin generally used for resin plating, a plating adhesion strength of 1 kgfZcm (9.8 N / cm) or more was obtained. In the resin plating pretreatment process using the dry plating of the present invention (the resin conductive process), the test was conducted with a plating adhesion strength of 0.5 kgf / cm (4.9 NZcm) as a pass target value. I did it. In the automotive standard, 1. OKgf / cm (9.8 NZcm) is set as an effort target value, but it can be used at 0.5 kgf / cm (4.9 NZcm) in actual use.
[0067] 乾式めつき前に樹脂のクリーニングと共に、酸素プラズマ (空気によるプラズマ処理 を含む)処理をすることにより、密着性が向上することができる。但し、その条件は榭 脂や成形条件によって変更する必要がある。 [0067] Adhesion can be improved by performing oxygen plasma treatment (including plasma treatment with air) together with resin cleaning prior to dry staking. However, the condition is 榭 It is necessary to change according to fat and molding conditions.
[0068] 榭脂めっきの前処理 (榭脂の導電化処理)を従来の 6価クロムを用いる湿式法から 乾式法に変更することで榭脂めっき製造における環境負荷は激減すると考える。  [0068] By changing the pretreatment of the resin plating (conducting treatment of the resin) from the conventional wet method using hexavalent chromium to the dry method, the environmental burden in the production of the resin coating is expected to be drastically reduced.
[0069] [榭脂表面洗浄'活性化工程後の表面観察] [0069] [Observation of the surface of the surface after activation of rosin surface]
榭脂表面洗浄 ·活性化工程 S 1を実施した後の表面観察を走査型電子顕微鏡 SE M (scanning Electron Microscopeノおよひ AFM (Atomic Force Micro sc ope;原子間力顕微鏡)を用いて行った。  The surface observation after the surface cleaning and activation step S 1 was performed using a scanning electron microscope SEM (scanning electron microscope and AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)). .
SEM観察結果を図 13に、 AFM観察結果を図 14に示す。  Fig. 13 shows the SEM observation results and Fig. 14 shows the AFM observation results.
SEM観察ではプラズマ未処理と処理表面との差が不明瞭であった力 AFM観察 ではプラズマ処理を行うことで、榭脂表面に凹凸が出来ることが確認することができた 従来の榭脂めっきでは、この SEM像程度の凹凸ではめつきのアンカー効果が得ら れないため、自動車部品規格を満足するめつき密着力は得られるものではないが、 本方法では現状程度の表面凹凸で自動車部品規格を満足する密着力が得られて いる。  The force that the difference between the untreated plasma and the treated surface was unclear in SEM observation. In AFM observation, it was confirmed that irregularities were formed on the surface of the resin by performing plasma treatment. However, because the anchoring effect cannot be obtained with the unevenness of this SEM image level, the adhesion strength that satisfies the automotive parts standard cannot be obtained. However, this method satisfies the automotive part standard with the current surface irregularities. Adhesive strength is obtained.
[0070] プラズマ処理品と未処理品の表面について、ぬれ張力試験混合液 (関東ィ匕学 (株) 製)を用いてぬれ張力試験を実施したところ、いずれの榭脂(PA, PA/ABS, PC /ABS, ABS, PP, PC/PET)においてもぬれ性が向上した。このことから、プラズ マ処理により榭脂表面に親水性官能基が生成しているものと思われる。  [0070] Wet tension test was performed on the plasma-treated and untreated surfaces using a wet tension test mixture (manufactured by Kanto Yigaku Co., Ltd.). PC / ABS, ABS, PP, PC / PET) also improved wettability. From this, it is considered that hydrophilic functional groups are formed on the surface of the resin by plasma treatment.
この官能基が金属薄膜成膜工程 S2のスパッタリング金属が化学結合することで榭 脂との密着力が発生する。  This functional group chemically bonds with the sputtered metal in the metal thin film forming step S2, thereby generating adhesion with the resin.
[0071] 図 15の「表 21 イオン照射処理の実験結果」に PAZABS (PA比率 50%, 70%, フイラ一入り)と PCZABS, PCZPETの自動車内装ドアハンドル製品につ 、て種々 のプラズマ処理 (榭脂表面洗浄'活性化工程 S1)条件の実験を行った結果を示す。 その結果、原料によって密着の良い条件と悪い条件があり、原料によってプラズマ 処理条件を選択する必要があることが分かった。また、ドアハンドルの RH (右側)と L H (左側)でも、密着力が大きく異なる場合もあることから、成形の条件によっても密着 力が異なることが分力つた。 [0072] さらに上記の自動車内装ドアハンドル製品を使用し、上記原料で金属薄膜成膜ェ 程 S 2のスパッタリング金属を Ni系, Cr系, Cu系について実験を行った。その結果を 図 16の「表 22- 1 Ni系ターゲットでの実験結果 1Z2」、図 17の「表 22- 2 Ni系ター ゲットでの実験結果 2Z2」、図 18の「表 23 Cr系ターゲットでの実験結果」、図 19の 「表 24 Cu系ターゲットでの実験結果」に示す。 [0071] Fig. 15 “Table 21 Experimental Results of Ion Irradiation Treatment” shows various plasma treatments for PAZABS (PA ratio 50%, 70%, with filler) and PCZABS, PCZPET automotive interior door handle products. Fig. 3 shows the results of an experiment on the condition of the resin surface cleaning 'activation step S1). As a result, it was found that there are good and bad adhesion conditions depending on the raw material, and it is necessary to select plasma treatment conditions depending on the raw material. Also, the door handle RH (right side) and LH (left side) may differ greatly in adhesion, so the adhesion was different depending on the molding conditions. [0072] Further, using the above-mentioned automotive interior door handle product, Ni-based, Cr-based, and Cu-based materials were sputtered with the above-mentioned raw materials in the metal thin film forming step S2. The results are shown in Fig. 16 "Table 22-1 Experimental results 1Z2 with Ni target", Fig. 17 "Table 22-2 Experimental results 2Z2 with Ni target" and Fig. 18 "Table 23 Cr target". The results are shown in Table 24, “Experimental results for Cu-based targets” in Fig. 19.
[0073] [Ni系のスパッタリング]  [0073] [Ni-based sputtering]
図 16の表 22-1、図 17の表 22-2に示すように、いずれの榭脂も榭脂表面洗浄'活 性化工程 S1のイオン照射が未実施であれば密着性が悪ぐ湿式電気めつき工程後 でフクレが発生する傾向が見られた。 PA系榭脂は Ni系のスパッタリングが良好であ る力 PCZABSは湿式電気めつき工程後の製品外観においてめつきフクレが無い 状態で密着の良い条件が少なぐ PCZPETについては、いずれの条件も湿式電気 めっき工程でめっきフクレが発生し、密着力の良い条件は見いだせな力つた  As shown in Table 22-1 in Fig. 16 and Table 22-2 in Fig. 17, all of the fats are wet surfaces that have poor adhesion if the ion irradiation in S1 is not performed. There was a tendency for bulges to occur after the electroplating process. PA-based resin has good Ni-based sputtering power. PCZABS has few conditions of good adhesion without swelling in the appearance of the product after wet electro-plating process. For PCZPET, all conditions are wet. Plating blisters occur in the electroplating process, and conditions with good adhesion are not found.
[0074] [Cr系のスパッタリング]  [0074] [Cr-based sputtering]
図 18の表 23に示すように、プラズマ処理未実施であればいずれの榭脂も、 Ni系の スパッタリング実験 (表 22-1)と同様に密着性が得られない。プラズマ処理を実施す ると、 Ni系のスパッタリング実験とは逆の結果を示し、 PA系の原料は密着性が悪ぐ PCZABSと PCZPETは 1. OkgfZcm以上のピーリング強度が得られた。  As shown in Table 23 of FIG. 18, if the plasma treatment has not been performed, none of the resins can obtain adhesion as in the Ni-based sputtering experiment (Table 22-1). When the plasma treatment was performed, the results were opposite to those of the Ni-based sputtering experiment, and the PA-based raw material showed poor adhesion. PCZABS and PCZPET had a peeling strength of 1. OkgfZcm or higher.
[0075] [Cu系のスパッタリング]  [0075] [Cu-based sputtering]
図 19の表 24に示すように、プラズマ処理未実施であればいずれの榭脂も密着性 が得らない。 PA/ABS (フイラ一入り)の 1条件以外はいずれも密着性が悪力つた。  As shown in Table 24 of FIG. 19, if the plasma treatment is not performed, none of the resins can be adhered. Adhesion was bad in all cases except for one condition of PA / ABS.
[0076] 上記のことより、いずれのスパッタリング金属も、プラズマ処理未実施では表 23の Ni — Cr系の実験時と同様に密着力の良いものは得られない。また榭脂原料によって密 着力が得られる金属薄膜成膜工程 S2のスパッタリング金属の種類があり、榭脂原料 に応じてスパッタリング金属を選択する必要があることが分かった。  [0076] From the above, none of the sputtered metals with good adhesion can be obtained without plasma treatment, as in the Ni-Cr-based experiments in Table 23. Moreover, it was found that there is a kind of sputtering metal in the metal thin film forming step S2 in which the adhesion strength can be obtained by the resin material, and it is necessary to select the sputtering metal according to the resin material.
[0077] 本発明では、同一形状の成形品で、めっき用(PCZABS) Z塗装用(PCZPET) のように榭脂原料の仕様を使 ヽ分けて!/ヽる製品に対して、金型を統一化できる (PC ZABS成形用の金型、 PCZPET成形用の金型のように原料毎の金型を作成しなく てもよい)、榭脂の統一化を図ることができるので成形作業の準備工数 (原料変更作 業、成形機への金型取り付け作業)が省略できる、といったコスト削減が可能である。 [0077] In the present invention, a mold is used for a product having the same shape and using different resin raw material specifications such as plating (PCZABS) and Z coating (PCZPET). Can be standardized (no need to create a mold for each raw material like a mold for PC ZABS molding or a mold for PCZPET molding). Effort (raw material change work The cost can be reduced such that the work and the die mounting work on the molding machine can be omitted.
