Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of electrical and nanofabrication technology, specifically to a method for metal thin film peeling using a double-layer negative adhesive as a mask. Background Technology

[0002] With the advent of the new generation of mobile communication, surface acoustic wave (SAWF) filters are widely used in radio frequency mobile communication. SAW chip technology is developing rapidly, and new research and discoveries in the technology have become an important focus.

[0003] Traditional metal film peeling processes employ either single-layer or double-layer adhesives. Existing single-layer negative adhesives, due to the need for high resolution, require a sufficiently thin adhesive layer. When thick metal film layers are required, complete adhesive removal becomes difficult, or even impossible. Double-layer adhesive peeling processes, on the other hand, [see...]. Figure 3 As shown, the specific peeling steps include applying a base adhesive 2' to the substrate 1'. This base adhesive is typically a common negative photoresist. Then, a top adhesive 3' is applied over the base adhesive 2'. This top adhesive 3' is generally a non-photosensitive adhesive. After exposure, PEB baking, development, and then depositing a metal film 4', the substrate is finally peeled off. Because the base adhesive is non-photosensitive, it reacts readily with the developer. The PEB baking temperature is very high (reaching 250-260℃). Due to our product's technical requirements, the substrate is very thin (0.2-0.25μm). Baking at 250℃ or higher makes it brittle, especially when producing 0.2μm substrates, and during hot plate handling. Experimental verification (approximately 2000 samples) shows a fragmentation rate of 15%-20%. Furthermore, the base adhesive is generally more than twice the price of the negative photoresist, resulting in extremely high production costs. Additionally, due to performance limitations, the non-photosensitive adhesive layer has low process tolerance and is prone to severe delamination due to differences in development time or temperature, or excessive development, leading to collapse of the upper adhesive layer (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this results in the inability to peel off. The aforementioned technical problem is something that those skilled in the art are dedicated to solving. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for metal film peeling using a double-layer negative adhesive as a mask.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: a method for metal thin film peeling using a double-layer negative adhesive as a mask, comprising the following steps: 1) Spin-coat a primer with a CP value of 25±1 onto the cleaned substrate, and then bake the substrate coated with primer for the first time. The baking temperature is controlled between 115-125℃ and the baking time is controlled between 100±2s. 2) Spin coat the base coat with a top coat with a CP value of 12±1 and bake it a second time. The baking temperature is controlled between 120-130℃ and the baking time is controlled between 100s+ / -2s. 3) Exposure was performed using UV light on an exposure machine at a dose of 120 mJ / cm. 2 ; 4) After PEB and development, a metal film is deposited on the upper surface of the adhesive using electron beam evaporation in a coating machine; 5) Metal film peeling was performed in NMP solvent at a temperature of 75±3℃ and a pressure of standard atmosphere. The base adhesive uses a photocrosslinking negative adhesive, and the top adhesive uses a photopolymerization negative adhesive.

[0006] In one specific implementation, the base adhesive is any one of the photoresists manufactured by FUTURREX, namely NR9-250PY, NR9-500PY, NR9-1000PY, and NR9-3000PY.

[0007] As one specific implementation, the adhesive used is AZ5510 photoresist produced by Jiangsu Hantuo Optical Materials Co., Ltd.

[0008] In one specific implementation, the spin coating speed in step 1) is 2000 r / min-3000 r / min.

[0009] In one specific implementation, the spin coating speed in step 2) is 5500-2500 r / min.

[0010] In one specific implementation, the thickness ratio of the base adhesive to the top adhesive is between 2:1 and 3:1; the thickness ratio of the base adhesive to the metal film plated in step 5) is between 1.5:1 and 2.5:1.

[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: In this invention, the base adhesive uses a photocrosslinking type negative adhesive, and the top adhesive uses a photopolymerizing type negative adhesive. The baking temperatures of the two adhesive layers are similar. The base adhesive is more soluble in TMAH solution than the top adhesive. The use of the above two layers of negative photoresist solves the problem of insufficient thickness of a single adhesive film, which causes incomplete or even impossible peeling. At the same time, compared with the existing technology that uses a double-layer adhesive (one layer of negative adhesive and one layer of non-photosensitive adhesive), the product of this invention has stable process and low breakage rate. Production verification (sample of 15,000 pieces) shows that the breakage rate is less than 1‰ below 150°C. It has low cost, the adhesive layer is not easy to collapse, and the interdigitated strip shape edge is better. Attached Figure Description
