Problems solved by technology

[0005] There are currently several limitations in the way of electroplating to form a graphic anti-etching layer: ①During the electroplating process with glue, there will be electroplating gold penetration due to environmental electroplating solutions and other problems, which will lead to the scrapping of the substrate
②Because the etching gold solution will react slowly to the anti-etching layer such as copper, the thickness of the patterned copper plating directly affects the etching effect, which often leads to the phenomenon of corrosion penetration of the copper etching layer
④Due to the high stress of electroplated copper and other metals, electroplating on the gold layer will greatly reduce the adhesion of the circuit, and it is not suitable for metallization on polished ceramic substrates
⑤Because it is necessary to remove the anti-etching layer on the surface, an etching solution capable of corroding copper must be used, and the etching solution for copper will cause damage to the nickel film. Therefore, the process of using electroplating copper as an anti-etching layer is limited to TaN / TiW / Au This composite film is not suitable for Ni-containing composite films of TaN / TiW / Ni / Au or TiW / Ni / Au, or other influential composite film structures
To sum up, although the etching of copper as an anti-etching layer can meet some production requirements, due to process limitations, production control is more difficult and the process breadth is not high.
