Abstract

The invention relates to a printed circuit addition manufacturing method based on copper autocatalysis and chemical copper plating, and belongs to the field of printed electronic technologies. Firstly, prepared catalysis ink is printed on the surface of a substrate to form a catalytic activity circuit image, then, the substrate with the catalytic activity circuit image is immersed in an chemical copper plating solution (containing a high compounding agent) in the first step and undergoes first-step chemical copper plating to form a copper autocatalysis active layer (a copper nano-cluster structure), at last, the substrate with the copper autocatalysis active layer on the surface is immersed in a chemical plating solution (containing a small amount of high compounding agent and an excessive amount of low compounding agent) in the second step and undergoes second-step chemical copper plating, finally the target printed circuit is obtained, the thickness of a copper player is over 20 micrometers, and the electrical resistivity is within the range of 10<6>-10<5>omega.cm. A chemical plating process is directly used for preparing the thick copper conductor layer without electroplating thickening, the process is simplified, cost is lowered, and the prepared printed circuit is good in electrical conductivity. The manufacturing method can be used for manufacturing of printed-circuit boards, radio frequency antennas and other conducting circuits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of Printed Electronics, and in particular relates to a low-cost and environment-friendly additive preparation method for printed circuits based on nickel catalysis and electroless copper plating. The invention can be used to prepare patterned conductive circuits in products such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), LED substrates, mobile phone antennas, and radio frequency tag (RFID) antennas. Background technique [0002] As an important part of the circuit system, conductive lines mainly provide signal and power connections for electronic components, components, and integrated modules. The traditional preparation process based on hard-based (rigid PCB, ceramic-based) and soft-based (flexible PCB) conductive circuits is based on the "subtractive method", mainly using copper-clad laminate mask etching process, which has a long process flow and environmental pollution problems. more serious. In recent years, t...
