Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrolytic copper foil, and in particular relates to a method for producing ultra-low profile electrolytic copper foil and a method for producing a printed circuit board thereof. Background Art

[0002] High-performance electronic circuit copper foil is an indispensable key raw material for 5G communications and high-speed server applications. Entering the era of high-speed digital lines and millimeter-wave communications, the requirements for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in the new generation of printed circuit boards (PCBs) have also risen with the iteration and upgrading of technology. As a conductor for signal transmission in PCBs, the performance of electronic circuit copper foil itself and the process in the subsequent processing play a decisive role in signal transmission performance.

[0003] According to the signal transmission theory, the signal loss in PCB is α totalc Can be divided into dielectric loss α dielectric , conductor loss α conductor , radiation loss α radiation and leakage loss α leakage .

[0004] (Formula 1)

[0005] Among them, conductor loss is mainly related to the copper foil as the signal transmission medium, dielectric loss is mainly related to the dielectric material used in the PCB, and radiation loss and leakage loss are generally closely related to the design of the circuit board. It should be pointed out that in addition to being related to the roughness of the copper foil itself, conductor loss is also directly affected by the frequency of the transmitted signal.

[0006] Previous research on conductor loss focused on the roughness of the copper foil itself. Our patent application 2023100730323, "A method for producing ultra-low profile copper foil for high-frequency and high-speed PCBs", disclosed that reducing the surface roughness of copper foil is beneficial to suppressing the skin effect and reducing the heat loss generated by the copper foil during signal transmission, thereby improving signal transmission integrity.

[0007] In order to ensure the reliability of PCB during processing, a certain bonding strength needs to be maintained between the copper foil and the plate. The side where the copper foil is pressed against the plate needs to be roughened, while taking into account the adverse effects of increased roughness on signal transmission. In the proposal "A method for producing ultra-low profile copper foil for high-frequency and high-speed PCBs" proposed by our company, a fine roughening treatment is performed on the surface of the ultra-low roughness copper foil, which not only ensures a lower profile, but also meets the bonding strength between the copper foil and the prepreg.

[0008] The manufacturing process of the HVLP copper foil can be mainly divided into three stages: ultra-low profile electrolytic foil production and ultra-fine roughened surface treatment. In the ultra-low profile electrolytic foil production process, the electrochemical crystallization and growth process are regulated by the synergistic effect of additives to achieve controllable growth of ultra-low profile foil. In the ultra-fine surface treatment process, the controllable micromorphology and growth of fine roughened tissue are achieved by matching additives and current processes.

[0009] Further research based on this invention application has led to new findings: Due to the difference in electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability, the non-copper metal introduced during the surface treatment process to improve the processability of copper foil will also have an adverse effect on signal transmission, and this adverse effect is directly related to the conductor loss α conductor Therefore, based on the original research and development results, it is also necessary to strictly control the content of non-copper metals in the surface treatment process of HVLP copper foil, and reduce the content of non-copper metals as much as possible while ensuring the processability of copper foil.

[0010] In response to this new discovery, it is necessary to re-explore a method that can achieve the extremely low profile, controllable micromorphology, and ultra-fine coarsened particles of the original research and development results "A method for producing ultra-low profile copper foil for high-frequency and high-speed PCBs", while also avoiding the introduction of non-copper metals in the copper foil machinability as much as possible to ensure better signal transmission performance based on the original performance.

[0011] Based on the problems in the above background technology, researchers have proposed another production method and use of ultra-low profile HVLP electrolytic copper foil. Summary of the invention

[0023] S3.2 Double-sided electrodeposition of chromium-containing passivation layer;

[0024] At the same time, a chromium-containing functional layer is electrodeposited to improve the weather resistance of the copper foil at room temperature;

[0073] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0074] 1. The invention method produces ultra-low profile HVLP electrolytic copper foil by additive-assisted electrochemical deposition of ultra-low profile raw foil, additive-assisted fine roughening treatment, zero-content ferromagnetic functional layer construction and chemical bonding layer construction; and prepares a copper clad laminate CCL by hot pressing the ultra-low profile HVLP electrolytic copper foil and a semi-cured material with ultra-low dielectric loss constant; and further processes the copper clad laminate into a high-frequency printed circuit board PCB.

[0075] The HVLP copper foil produced by this technology has the following typical characteristics:

[0076] (1) Ultra-low surface profile.

[0082] 2. The surface roughness of the HVLP electrolytic copper foil product produced by the present invention and 2023100730323 "A method for producing ultra-low profile copper foil for high-frequency and high-speed PCB" is comparable, so when processing copper clad laminate CCL products, the bonding strength between the electrolytic copper foil and the resin substrate is also sufficient.

[0281] From the product test data of the above embodiments and comparative examples:

[0282] The product performance of Examples 1-8 is very stable. The average size of the coarsened particles of the ultra-low profile HVLP electrolytic copper foil products is concentrated in the range of 500-650 nm, the roughness of the matte line Rz is concentrated in the range of 1.0-1.5 μm, Rz (JIS) is concentrated in the range of 0.8-1.2 μm, the surface roughness Sz is concentrated in the range of 2.1-3.0 μm, and the interface expansion area ratio Sdr is concentrated in the range of 5.0-9.3%.

[0283] The zinc electroplating amount on the treated surface is concentrated in 13-16 mg / m 2 , the amount of Cr deposited is concentrated in the range of 1.6 to 2.0 mg / m 2 .

[0284] The peel strength of the copper clad laminate CCL product 10 is concentrated in the range of 0.53 to 0.75 N / mm and 3.0 to 4.0 lb / in.

[0285] The insertion loss of the high-frequency printed circuit board PCB product 10 is concentrated in the range of -0.32 to -0.60 dB / in at a frequency of 4 GHz, -0.39 to -0.65 dB / in at a frequency of 8 GHz, -0.48 to -0.72 dB / in at a frequency of 12.89 GHz, and -0.64 to -0.85 dB / in at a frequency of 16 GHz.

[0286] In comparison, the performance indicators of the comparative products are all poor: the roughness of the rough surface line Rz is higher than 2.5μm, Rz (JIS) is higher than 2.2μm, the surface roughness Sz is higher than 4.7μm, and the interface expansion area ratio Sdr is higher than 21%.

[0290] This means:

[0291] In the present invention, the introduction of additives into the roughening electrolyte and their types and addition amounts; the additives used in the ultra-low profile electrolytic foil production process and their addition amounts; the additives used in the surface treatment roughening process and their addition amounts are necessary and effective, and can greatly improve various performance indicators of the product.

[0292] In order to more intuitively reflect the implementation effect of the present invention, the above examples and control examples were analyzed, and the microscopic morphology and parameters of the products produced in the examples were analyzed and characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM Zeiss, Sigma300) and laser confocal microscopy (Olympus, OLS5100), respectively. Figure 1-5 , the analysis of the picture is as follows:

[0293] Figure 1 The SEM image of the finished foil after the additive was introduced during the roughening process of Example 1 is shown. From this figure, it can be observed that there are elongated roughened structures, and there are obvious gaps between adjacent roughened structures. The existence of gaps between the roughened structures provides space for the infiltration of glue during the hot pressing process, which is beneficial to improve the bonding strength between the HVLP copper foil and the plate.

[0294] Figure 2 Shown is a SEM image of the finished foil of Comparative Example 1, which did not introduce additives during the roughening process.

[0295] contrast Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be clearly found that the introduction of additives affects the microstructure of the coarsened structure: without the introduction of additives, the coarsened structure presents an obvious spherical morphology and the particle size is relatively large.

[0296] In order to further observe the microscopic morphology of the coarsened structure after the introduction of the additive, the sample of Example 1 was ion milled and the morphology was observed using a high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope. Figure 3 As shown:

[0297] from Figure 3 It can be observed that the coarsened structure is a bamboo shoot-like morphology formed by the accumulation of particles from bottom to top. The height of the coarsened structure is between 0.8-2.1μm, with an average height of about 1.8μm. The particle size is between 350-700nm, with an average particle size of about 500nm.

[0298] In order to further study the crystal characteristics of HVLP copper foil, the sample in Example 1 was subjected to electron backscatter diffraction EBSD analysis. Figure 4 As shown:

[0299] right Figure 4 The analysis of the EBSD image shown shows that the ultra-low profile green foil has a clear block crystal structure, which is significantly different from the columnar crystal structure of the conventional HTE copper foil. The blocks of different colors in the EBSD pattern indicate that the ultra-low profile green foil produced in the electrolytic foil production process is a polycrystalline structure. The results of the pole figure show that no obvious preferred orientation appears in the HVLP copper foil produced by this method. The laser confocal microscope uses a non-contact laser as a medium to analyze and characterize the surface morphology of the sample.

[0300] Figure 5 Shown are the laser confocal cloud images of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

[0301] The figure can be used to intuitively compare the roughness of different samples. In Example 1, the green color accounts for a relatively high proportion in the cloud map, while the red color accounts for a relatively high proportion in the cloud map of Comparative Example 1. Therefore, the roughness of the sample in Example 1 is lower than that of the sample in Comparative Example 1.

[0302] The data of the above embodiments and comparative examples, as well as the product morphology analysis, can all confirm that the surface roughness of the present invention meets the requirements for processing copper clad laminates, and the bonding strength between the electrolytic copper foil and the resin substrate is indeed sufficient when processing copper clad laminate CCL products. In addition, since the product does not contain ferromagnetic metal content, as a raw material for PCB products, the adverse effects of ferromagnetic metals on signal transmission are fundamentally eliminated, ensuring signal integrity.
