Description

電子部品およびその製造方法Electronic component and manufacturing method thereof
 本発明は電子機器用接続部品であるコネクタ等の電子部品およびその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an electronic component such as a connector, which is a connection component for an electronic device, and a manufacturing method thereof.
 電子機器用接続部品であるコネクタには、黄銅やリン青銅にニッケル下地めっきを施し、さらに、その上に金めっきを施した材料が一般に使用される。しかし、金は高価であるために、コネクタ製造コストを下げる目的で様々な方法が採られている。その代表的な方法が金めっきの厚みを下げる方法であるが、金めっき厚を薄くするに伴って、皮膜のピンホールが指数関数的に増え、耐食性が著しく低下するという問題を抱えている。
 この問題を解決する方法のひとつに封孔処理がある。すなわち、各種の無機あるいは有機性の薬品で金めっき表面を処理し、ピンホールを塞ぎ、耐食性を向上させようとするものである。封孔処理液には有機系と水系の2種類がある。有機系では溶媒としてハロゲン系有機溶剤が一般に使用されているため、オゾン層破壊などの問題で現在有機系封孔処理液の使用は大きく制限されている。一方、水系では溶媒として水を使用するため環境汚染の点で問題はないが、従来の有機系封孔処理液に使用されている水に難溶性のパラフィン等の潤滑剤が使用できないため、水系で処理しためっきは潤滑性が低く、コネクタの耐久性が有機系よりも劣るという問題があった。
For a connector which is a connection part for an electronic device, a material obtained by applying nickel base plating to brass or phosphor bronze and further applying gold plating thereon is generally used. However, since gold is expensive, various methods have been adopted for the purpose of reducing the connector manufacturing cost. A typical method is a method of reducing the thickness of the gold plating. However, as the gold plating thickness is reduced, there is a problem that the pinholes of the film increase exponentially and the corrosion resistance is remarkably reduced.
One method for solving this problem is sealing. That is, the surface of the gold plating is treated with various inorganic or organic chemicals to close the pinholes and improve the corrosion resistance. There are two types of sealing treatment liquids: organic and aqueous. Since organic halogen solvents are generally used as organic solvents, the use of organic sealing liquids is currently greatly restricted due to problems such as ozone layer destruction. On the other hand, there is no problem in terms of environmental pollution because water is used as a solvent in the water system, but since a lubricant such as paraffin or the like that is hardly soluble in water used in conventional organic sealing liquids cannot be used, The plating treated with the above has a problem that the lubricity is low and the durability of the connector is inferior to that of the organic type.
 そこで、環境汚染性に問題なく、かつ、従来と同等もしくはそれ以上の封孔処理効果を有する封孔処理剤として、インヒビターとして、ベンゾトリアゾール系化合物、メルカプトベンゾチアゾール系化合物、またはトリアジンチオール系化合物を用いた封孔処理剤が特許文献1~3に、インヒビターとして特定のトリアジン系化合物を有する封孔処理剤が特許文献4~5記載されている。 Therefore, as a sealing treatment agent having no problem in environmental pollution and having a sealing treatment effect equivalent to or higher than that of the prior art, an inhibitor, a benzotriazole compound, a mercaptobenzothiazole compound, or a triazine thiol compound. Patent Documents 1 to 3 describe the sealing agents used, and Patent Documents 4 to 5 describe sealing agents having specific triazine compounds as inhibitors.
 リン青銅基材は、スイッチやコネクタ部に使用される傾向があり、ばね性や耐摩耗性がより求められるバッテリー端子用コネクタ等にはベリリウム銅が使用されている。
 ベリリウム銅には延性があり、溶接や機械加工もできる金属材料である。また、非酸化性の酸(塩酸や炭酸など)・プラスチックを分解する物質・アブレシブ摩耗やかじり傷に対しても耐える素材である。さらに、熱処理を加えれば強度や耐久性、電気伝導度を増すこともできる。ベリリウム銅は、銅をベースとした合金の中で最高の強度(~1400MPa)を誇っている。しかし、ベリリウム化合物には毒性があるので、ベリリウム銅合金についても安全上注意すべき点がある。固体や最終製品については、ベリリウム銅が健康へ特に影響を与えることはないが、機械加工や溶接の過程で出るベリリウム銅の塵を吸い込むと、肺に深刻な影響の出る危険性がある。また、ベリリウム化合物はIARCによって発がん性がある(Type1)と勧告されている。その結果、ニッケル青銅(Cu-Ni-Sn系)、チタン銅など、より危険性の低い銅合金がベリリウム銅の代替として用いられることもある。しかし、ニッケル青銅は歩留りが悪いという問題がある。
Phosphor bronze base materials tend to be used for switches and connector parts, and beryllium copper is used for battery terminal connectors and the like that are more required to have springiness and wear resistance.
Beryllium copper is a ductile metal material that can be welded and machined. It is also a material that can withstand non-oxidizing acids (hydrochloric acid, carbonic acid, etc.), substances that break down plastics, abrasive wear and scuffing. Furthermore, if heat treatment is applied, strength, durability, and electrical conductivity can be increased. Beryllium copper boasts the highest strength (up to 1400 MPa) among copper-based alloys. However, since beryllium compounds are toxic, there are safety concerns regarding beryllium copper alloys. For solids and finished products, beryllium copper has no particular health impact, but inhalation of beryllium copper dust from machining and welding processes can cause serious lung effects. Also, beryllium compounds are recommended by IARC as having carcinogenicity (Type 1). As a result, less dangerous copper alloys such as nickel bronze (Cu—Ni—Sn) and titanium copper may be used as an alternative to beryllium copper. However, nickel bronze has a problem of poor yield.
 チタン銅はTiを主な副成分とする特殊銅合金である。強度、耐応力緩和特性、曲げ加工性においては、高強度・高機能銅合金の代表格であるベリリウム銅合金に匹敵する特性を有している。このため、パソコンや携帯電話等の電子機器の主にコネクタ端子、バッテリー端子、バーンインソケット等の基材の用途でベリリウム銅合金に変えてチタン銅の使用が近年大きく伸びてきている。
 コルソン合金はNi、Siを主な副成分とする特殊銅合金の1種である。強度、電気伝導度が高く、曲げ加工性に優れるためパソコンや携帯電話等の電子機器の主にコネクタ端子やリードフレーム等に使用されている。
Titanium copper is a special copper alloy containing Ti as a main accessory component. In terms of strength, stress relaxation resistance and bending workability, it has properties comparable to beryllium copper alloys, which are representative of high strength and high performance copper alloys. For this reason, the use of titanium copper in place of beryllium copper alloy has been greatly increasing in recent years mainly for use in base materials such as connector terminals, battery terminals, burn-in sockets, etc. in electronic devices such as personal computers and mobile phones.
The Corson alloy is a kind of special copper alloy containing Ni and Si as main subcomponents. Because of its high strength and high electrical conductivity and excellent bending workability, it is mainly used for connector terminals and lead frames of electronic devices such as personal computers and mobile phones.
 しかし、チタン銅やコルソン合金を電子機器用接続部品であるコネクタの基材として用い、基材としてリン青銅を用いた場合と同様に、ニッケル下地めっきを施し、さらにその上に金めっきを施すと、チタン銅はチタンの酸化物が、コルソン合金はSiの酸化物が銅基材表面に顔を出すため、ニッケル下地めっきの密着性が悪く、リン青銅を用いた場合よりめっき物の耐食性が悪くなる。従って、通常、これらの酸化物をエッチングして金めっきを行うが、酸化物を完全に取り除くことはできず、めっき物の耐食性が悪くなる。
 更に、封孔処理を行っても、被めっき材の酸化された点を起因にピンホールが多数発生し、その上に形成した金めっき膜や封孔処理剤ではピンホールを完全に塞ぐことができず腐食や変色の原因となっていた。
However, when titanium copper or Corson alloy is used as the base material of the connector which is a connecting part for electronic equipment, and the phosphor bronze is used as the base material, nickel base plating is applied, and further gold plating is applied thereon. Titanium copper has titanium oxide, and Corson alloy has Si oxide on the surface of the copper base, so the adhesion of nickel base plating is poor, and the corrosion resistance of the plating is worse than when phosphor bronze is used. Become. Therefore, normally, these oxides are etched and gold plating is performed, but the oxides cannot be completely removed, and the corrosion resistance of the plated product is deteriorated.
Furthermore, even if the sealing treatment is performed, many pinholes are generated due to the oxidized points of the material to be plated, and the gold plating film or sealing agent formed thereon can completely block the pinholes. Inability to cause corrosion and discoloration.
 また、前記金めっき膜の厚さを薄くした際の、皮膜のピンホールが指数関数的に増え、耐食性が著しく低下するという問題を解決するために、導電性の基材金属上に、ニッケル層、金-ニッケル合金層および金層を順次積層してなる3層構造の電気接点が特許文献6に開示されている。また、銅合金上に、ニッケル層、Pd-ニッケル合金層および金層を順次積層してなる3層構造の電気接点も既に知られている。しかし、これらの技術において、封孔処理については記載されていない。 Further, in order to solve the problem that the pinhole of the film increases exponentially when the thickness of the gold plating film is reduced and the corrosion resistance is remarkably lowered, a nickel layer is formed on the conductive base metal. Patent Document 6 discloses an electrical contact having a three-layer structure in which a gold-nickel alloy layer and a gold layer are sequentially laminated. An electrical contact having a three-layer structure in which a nickel layer, a Pd-nickel alloy layer, and a gold layer are sequentially laminated on a copper alloy is already known. However, these techniques do not describe sealing treatment.
 さらに、特許文献7~8には、銅系の基材上に、Niめっき、Pd又はPd合金めっき、Au又はAu合金めっきをした材料にキレート形成性環状窒素化合物を含む封孔処理剤で封孔処理することが開示されている。封孔処理剤は、有機溶媒溶液であり、処理方法としては、含浸処理、塗布等である。特許文献7~8において、実施例では銅系の基材としてリン青銅を用いている。しかし、本発明者らが検討したところ、基材として、チタン銅やコルソン銅を用いた場合、前記封孔処理剤を用いた含浸処理、塗布による封孔処理では、耐食性効果が得られなかった。 Further, Patent Documents 7 to 8 disclose that a copper base material is sealed with a sealing agent containing a chelate-forming cyclic nitrogen compound on a material plated with Ni, Pd or Pd alloy, or Au or Au alloy. A hole treatment is disclosed. The sealing agent is an organic solvent solution, and the treatment method includes impregnation treatment and coating. In Patent Documents 7 to 8, phosphor bronze is used as a copper base material in Examples. However, when the present inventors examined, when titanium copper or corson copper was used as a base material, the impregnation treatment using the sealing treatment agent and the sealing treatment by coating did not provide a corrosion resistance effect. .

Can be provided, and an electronic component having excellent corrosion resistance and a method for manufacturing the same can be provided.

 本発明の電子部品は、チタン銅またはコルソン合金からなる基材上に、Niめっき膜、Pd-Niめっき膜、AuまたはAu合金めっき膜の3層を有し、さらにAuまたはAu合金めっき膜表面が、インヒビターとして、ベンゾトリアゾール系化合物、メルカプトベンゾチアゾール系化合物、またはトリアジンチオール系化合物を含有する封孔処理剤を用いて電着処理されてなる。
 本発明は、基材として、チタン銅またはコルソン合金を用いる。
 チタン銅は銅にチタンを1.0~4.0質量%添加した特殊銅合金であり、更に鉄等を含有していても良い。チタン銅は、強度、耐応力緩和特性、曲げ加工性においては、高強度・高機能銅合金の代表格であるベリリウム銅合金に匹敵する特性を有している。
 コルソン合金は銅を主成分とし、Ni、Siを主な副成分とする特殊銅合金の1種であり、更にマグネシウム、スズ、亜鉛、コバルト、クロム、マンガン等を含有しても良い。コルソン合金は、強度、電気伝導度が高く、曲げ加工性に優れる。
The electronic component of the present invention has three layers of a Ni plating film, a Pd—Ni plating film, and an Au or Au alloy plating film on a substrate made of titanium copper or a Corson alloy, and further the surface of the Au or Au alloy plating film. However, an electrodeposition treatment is performed using a sealing agent containing a benzotriazole compound, a mercaptobenzothiazole compound, or a triazine thiol compound as an inhibitor.
In the present invention, titanium copper or a Corson alloy is used as a base material.
Titanium copper is a special copper alloy obtained by adding 1.0 to 4.0% by mass of titanium to copper, and may further contain iron or the like. Titanium copper has properties comparable to beryllium copper alloys, which are typical of high strength and high function copper alloys, in strength, stress relaxation resistance and bending workability.
The Corson alloy is a kind of special copper alloy mainly composed of copper and mainly composed of Ni and Si, and may further contain magnesium, tin, zinc, cobalt, chromium, manganese and the like. Corson alloy has high strength and electrical conductivity, and is excellent in bending workability.
 しかし、これらの銅合金を基材として用いて、その上にNiめっき膜、Auめっき膜を形成すると、チタン銅はチタンの酸化物が、コルソン合金はSiの酸化物が銅基材表面に顔を出すため、ニッケル下地めっきの密着性が悪く、めっき物の耐食性が悪くなった。
 本発明において、基材であるチタン銅またはコルソン合金の腐食/変色を防止する方法として、該基材上にNiめっき膜、Pd-Niめっき膜、AuまたはAu合金めっき膜の3層を形成する。
 基材上に、Niめっき膜と、Pd-Niめっき膜を形成することにより、Pd-Ni膜中に存在するピンホールを減らすことができ、基材が露出することを防ぐことができる。また、AuまたはAu合金めっき膜の厚さを薄くすることができる。
However, when these copper alloys are used as a base material and a Ni plating film or an Au plating film is formed thereon, titanium copper has titanium oxide, and Corson alloy has Si oxide on the copper base surface. Therefore, the adhesion of the nickel base plating was poor, and the corrosion resistance of the plated product was deteriorated.
In the present invention, as a method for preventing corrosion / discoloration of titanium copper or Corson alloy as a base material, three layers of Ni plating film, Pd—Ni plating film, Au or Au alloy plating film are formed on the base material. .
By forming the Ni plating film and the Pd—Ni plating film on the base material, pinholes existing in the Pd—Ni film can be reduced, and the base material can be prevented from being exposed. Further, the thickness of the Au or Au alloy plating film can be reduced.
 さらに、本発明の電子部品は、AuまたはAu合金めっき膜表面が、インヒビターとして、ベンゾトリアゾール系化合物、メルカプトベンゾチアゾール系化合物、またはトリアジンチオール系化合物を含有する封孔処理剤を用いて電着処理されてなることが重要である。特定のインヒビターを含有する封孔処理剤を用いて電着処理することにより、一層ピンホールを低減でき、基材の腐食、変色をより確実に防止することができる。
 封孔処理しない場合、また封孔処理が電着処理でない場合は、ピンホールを低減する効果が十分ではなく、基材が腐食、変色する。
Furthermore, in the electronic component of the present invention, the surface of the Au or Au alloy plating film is electrodeposited using a sealing agent containing a benzotriazole compound, a mercaptobenzothiazole compound, or a triazine thiol compound as an inhibitor. It is important to be made. By performing electrodeposition using a sealing agent containing a specific inhibitor, pinholes can be further reduced, and corrosion and discoloration of the substrate can be more reliably prevented.
When the sealing treatment is not performed or when the sealing treatment is not an electrodeposition treatment, the effect of reducing pinholes is not sufficient, and the substrate is corroded and discolored.
 また、前記ベンゾトリアゾール系化合物、メルカプトベンゾチアゾール系化合物、トリアジンチオール系化合物以外のインヒビターを用いた封孔処理剤や、前記インヒビターを用いた処理剤であっても浸漬処理を行った場合は、リフロー処理を行うと封孔処理の効果がなくなる。しかし、前記封孔処理剤を用いて電着処理することにより、よりピンホールの内部への処理が可能となるため、リフロー処理しても封孔処理の効果がなくなることはない。リフロー処理において、最高温度が240℃以上に加熱されても封孔処理の効果が維持される。本発明では、280℃まで、封孔処理の効果があることを確認している。 In addition, if a sealing treatment using an inhibitor other than the benzotriazole-based compound, mercaptobenzothiazole-based compound, or triazine thiol-based compound, or a treatment using the inhibitor, reflow is performed. When the treatment is performed, the effect of the sealing treatment is lost. However, the electrodeposition treatment using the sealing agent makes it possible to further process the inside of the pinhole. Therefore, even if the reflow treatment is performed, the effect of the sealing treatment is not lost. In the reflow process, the effect of the sealing process is maintained even when the maximum temperature is heated to 240 ° C. or higher. In the present invention, it is confirmed that there is an effect of sealing treatment up to 280 ° C.
 本発明の電子部品の製造方法は、チタン銅またはコルソン合金からなる基材上に、Niめっき膜、Pd-Niめっき膜、AuまたはAu合金めっき膜の3層を順に形成し、AuまたはAu合金めっき膜表面を、インヒビターとして、ベンゾトリアゾール系化合物、メルカプトベンゾチアゾール系化合物、またはトリアジンチオール系化合物を含有する封孔処理剤を用いて電着処理する。
 特にチタン銅は、強度、耐応力緩和特性、曲げ加工性においては、高強度・高機能銅合金の代表格であるベリリウム銅合金に匹敵する特性を有している。このため、基材としてチタン銅を用いた本発明の電子部品は、パソコンや携帯電話等の電子機器の主にコネクタ端子、バッテリー端子、バーンインソケット等の用途で好適に用いることができる。

Titanium copper material (NKT322, 25 mm x 20 mm x 0.2 mmt) or Corson alloy material (C7025, 25 mm x 20 mm x 0.2 mmt) is subjected to electrolytic nickel plating on the entire surface with a sulfamic acid bath for 3 μm, and then an ammonia bath Then, a plated substrate on which electrolytic Pd—Ni alloy plating (Pd / Ni = 8/2 (mass ratio)) was performed by 0.2 μm and electrolytic gold plating was performed by 0.05 μm in a citric acid bath was used as a test material. did.
The plated substrate based on titanium copper was subjected to sealing treatment by electrodeposition under the conditions of Examples 1 to 4 or Comparative Example 3 in Table 1, sufficiently washed with water, and then dried with a drier to seal the plating. An agent film was formed. Further, a sealing treatment film was formed on the plated substrate based on the Corson alloy by the same electrodeposition under the conditions of Example 5. In Comparative Example 1, sealing treatment was not performed on a plated substrate based on titanium copper. In Comparative Example 2, sealing treatment was performed by dipping treatment on a plated substrate based on titanium copper.
In addition, ion-exchange water was used for the solvent of the sealing agent. Moreover, the lauryl phosphate ester and decyl phosphate ester used for the sealing agent are a mixture of a monoester and a diester.
 得られた基板に対し、図1に示すプロファイルでリフロー処理(大気雰囲気)を行った後、塩水噴霧試験(JISZ2371準拠)を72時間行い、耐食性の評価を行った。結果を表1に示す。
 評価基準:
  ○:ほとんど腐食なし。
  △:所々に黒点状の腐食が見られる。
  ×:所々に茶褐色及び/または緑色の腐食点が見られる。
The obtained substrate was subjected to reflow treatment (atmospheric atmosphere) with the profile shown in FIG. 1 and then subjected to a salt spray test (based on JISZ2371) for 72 hours to evaluate corrosion resistance. The results are shown in Table 1.
Evaluation criteria:
○: Almost no corrosion.
Δ: Black spot-like corrosion is observed in some places.
X: A brown and / or green corrosion point is observed in some places.
 尚、比較例3は、本発明に係る封孔処理剤とは異なった封孔処理剤を用いた例である。比較例3で用いた封孔処理剤は、基材としてリン青銅(C5210,25mm×20mm×0.2mmt)を用いた場合は、耐食性の効果が得られることを確認している。即ち、比較例3は、リン青銅基材に有効な封孔処理剤がそのまま同様にチタン銅基材の封孔処理に有効とはならないことを示すものである。 In addition, the comparative example 3 is an example using the sealing agent different from the sealing agent concerning this invention. The sealing agent used in Comparative Example 3 has been confirmed to have an effect of corrosion resistance when phosphor bronze (C5210, 25 mm × 20 mm × 0.2 mmt) is used as a base material. That is, Comparative Example 3 shows that a sealing agent effective for a phosphor bronze base material is not effective for sealing a titanium copper base material as it is.
