Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the production of metal-coated base laminates with a support made of an electrically non-conductive material, which is coated on at least one side with a metal layer.
- Such metal-coated base laminates are used, for example, in the manufacture of electrical circuit boards.
- conductor track structures are structured from the metal layer, for which purpose the parts that are not required for the track structure are removed. So that no current can flow over the carrier of the metal-coated base laminate, this is made of the electrically non-conductive material.
- the metal-coated base laminates produced in this way are very expensive.
- the handling of copper foils with a thickness of less than 10 microns and especially less than 5 microns is very difficult to impossible, since the film breaks. Therefore, for thin copper foils, i. H. Copper foils with a thickness of less than 12 ⁇ m, always a thicker copper foil, generally with a thickness of 18 ⁇ m or 36 ⁇ m, additionally used as carrier. In order for the copper to dissolve from the carrier, a thin chromium layer is generally used as the separating layer.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method with which metal-coated base laminates can be produced in a simple manner, which already provided with a very thin copper base layer and need no additional metal foils as a carrier.
- the object is achieved by a method for producing metal-coated base laminates with a support made of an electrically non-conductive material, which is coated on at least one side with a metal layer, comprising the following steps:
- An advantage of the method according to the invention is that the metal layer is applied in a work process during the production of the base laminate. It is not necessary to apply a foil that can crack. In addition, particularly thin metal layers can be applied by the method according to the invention.
- An advantage of using the substrate is that it is recyclable as it generally will not be damaged after removal of the coated base laminate. Furthermore, it is also possible to produce the substrate with a defined surface quality and structure, so that according to the surface quality of the substrate, a predetermined surface quality and structure for the metal-coated base laminate is achieved.
- the substrate is for example a plate or a foil.
- the film is preferably flexible.
- it is preferably coated with a release agent.
- the substrate is a plate or foil of a release agent.
- the substrate as Film it is preferred if the substrate as Film is present, wherein the film is either coated with the release agent or made of the release agent, which is stored as a so-called endless film on a roll.
- the process can then be carried out as a roll-to-roll process, in which the film is unwound from a roll, at least one process step, preferably all process steps, passes through, and then rewound.
- Suitable materials for the substrate are all materials which are not damaged by the pressure applied during lamination and the temperature required for the curing of the material.
- the substrate is preferably made of a metal, for example an industry-standard steel sheet, aluminum, a solid aluminum alloy or a solid copper alloy.
- the lamination of the support in step (d) takes place at a temperature which is elevated with respect to the ambient temperature, it is preferred if the material for the substrate has good thermal conductivity.
- the heat transfer through the substrate into the interior of the stack is controlled via the heating curve of the laminating press according to the selected type of material. In hydraulic, stationary presses, the heat transport into the stack interior is additionally attenuated by padding material, for example several layers of paper, outside the plates. As a result, a uniform curing of the material for the carrier is achieved.
- a dispersion which contains electrolessly and / or electrolytically coatable particles in a matrix material is applied to the substrate.
- Suitable release agents for coating the substrate are all materials which have a high adhesive force to the surface of the substrate, which is coated with the release agent, and have a low adhesive force to the dispersion applied thereto.
- the release agent may be a suitable polymer, for example a polyvinyl alcohol, a silicone polymer or a fluoropolymer or a low molecular weight fat, wax or oil. Preference is given to release agents which have a low surface tension against air of less than 30 mN / m.
- fluoropolymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (EFE), poly-4-methylpentene-1 (TDX), modified polyesters (eg Pacothane TM from Pacothane Technologies), or silicone polymers, for example polydimethylsiloxane polymers, as well as modified cellulose triacetate (CTA).

- the average particle diameter can be determined by means of laser diffraction measurement, for example on a Microtrac X100 device.
- the distribution of particle diameters depends on their production process. Typically, the diameter distribution has only one maximum, but several maxima are also possible. For example, it is possible to mix particles having an average particle diameter of less than 100 nm with particles having an average particle diameter of more than 1 ⁇ m, since a denser particle packing can be achieved thereby.
