Problems solved by technology

However, when the FPC with a PET substrate is used for electroplating nickel-gold surface treatment, the adhesive between the PET substrate and the copper substrate will be peeled off due to the hydrogen evolution reaction of the electroplating cathode, causing the copper foil to separate from the PET substrate. fall off

Abstract

The invention discloses an electro-nickelling working solution for a PET (polyethylene glycol terephthalate) substrate based FPC (flexible printed circuit) board; the electro-nickelling working solution comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.01-10% of anti-stripping agent, 0.1-50% of buffer agent boric acid, 0.1-50% of dissolving-assistant wetting agent, and the balance of purified water, wherein the anti-stripping agent is a mixture of sodium benzimidazole derivative and sodium ferrocyanide with a weight ratio of (0.5-2):1, the dissolving-assistant wetting agent is one or two selected from methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, N, N-dimethylformamide, glycol ether and ethylene glycol. The PET substrate based tough copper-clad plate processed according to the invention can effectively ensure that releasing and stripping are unlikely to occur between the PET substrate and the copper foil after a nickelling treatment. The yield of the PET substrate based FPC board electro-nickelling technique can be greatly improved, so that the electro-nickelling treatment to PET substrate based FPC boards for large quantities becomes possible.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a nickel electroplating working solution for FPC board material of a PET base material. Background technique [0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, copper-clad laminates are widely used as substrates and circuit materials, and their surfaces often need anti-oxidation treatment to meet the requirements of subsequent welding or processing. There are many processes applied to the surface treatment of copper metal in industry, such as nickel-gold electroplating, OSP (organic solderability coating), tin spraying, chemical nickel-gold, immersion silver, etc. Among them, the nickel-gold electroplating process is the nickel-plating and gold-plating process after the circuit pattern processing and copper plating have been completed. This process can effectively protect the copper surface from the erosion of external corrosive or oxidizing atmosphere, achieve the effect of anti-oxidation, and at the same time have good sold...
