Embodiment 1-4 and comparative example 0-38

[0047] Cathodic electrolytic degreasing of the copper lead frame in an alkaline electrolytic degreasing agent (Cleaner 160P, Meltex Inc.) solution at a bath temperature of 60°C for 1 minute at a voltage of 4 volts; rinse the product with water; It is immersed in a persulfate chemical abrasive (Actronal 55) for 30 minutes for chemical abrasion; the product is rinsed with water, washed with acid in a 10% sulfuric acid solution, and then washed with water; In the plating tank, nickel plating was carried out for 2 minutes at a current density of 3 amps / cubic decimeter to form a 1 micron thick nickel film; the product was rinsed with water; using a conventional methanesulfonic acid tin plating bath (SOLDERON TM TMBT-280 tin plating) to form a tin coating film with a thickness of 3 microns; the product was rinsed with water, immersed in an aqueous solution at 25°C with the composition and pH value shown in Table 1 for 30 seconds, rinsed with water, and then dried. Sodium polyphosph...

Embodiment 27 and 28

[0064] Working examples 27 and 28 (solder wettability test)

[0065] The lead frames subjected to the surface treatment of the tin film were prepared under the same conditions as in the operation examples 1 and 5, except that the treatment temperature of the aqueous solution used for the surface treatment in the operation examples 1 and 5 was 60°C. Under the conditions of 105°C and 100% relative humidity, the moisture resistance test (PCT (105°C, 100% relative humidity, 4 or 8 hours)) was carried out on the prepared lead frame for 4 hours and 8 hours, using SAT-5000 Solder Checker (RHESCA Co., Ltd.) evaluated the solder wettability by measuring the zero-crossing time of the coating film after the moisture resistance test by the meniscograph method. The measurement conditions are as follows.

[0066] Zero Crossing Time Measurement Conditions

[0067] Solder bath: Sn / Pb=63 / 37

[0068] Bath temperature: 235°C

Abstract

To provide a solder-plating film which has good solder wettability and with which discoloration and twisting of the tin film after heat treatment are prevented. A method and a solution for surface treating a tin film are disclosed. The aqueous solution contains specific compounds and is brought into contact with a tin-plating film before reflow treatment of the tin film.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a solution for surface treatment of metals, specifically tin coatings; and also to a method for surface treatment of tin coatings. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of applying a solution for surface treatment to the surface of the tin plating film before performing reflow treatment when the tin film is formed using a tin plating method; the present invention It also relates to the treatment solutions used in the method. Background technique [0002] Tin and tin alloy thin films have excellent adhesion properties, low cost, electrical properties, and solderability; therefore, they are widely used in chips, crystal oscillators, lead frames, printed circuits, and other electronic components that require electrical contact It is also widely used as a resist in the steps of semiconductor and printed substrate manufacturing. [0003] Over time, hair-like metallic deposits known as whiskers can fo...
