Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of IC card carrier tapes, and in particular to a method for preparing single-sided and double-sided carrier tapes by utilizing double-sided copper-clad PI materials. Background Art

[0002] Epoxy resin fiberglass cloth is often used in the production of existing IC card carriers. It is a thermosetting material that cannot be recycled and reused, and its long-term use puts a burden on the environment. In contrast, PI material, as a thermoplastic material, is recyclable and more environmentally friendly. However, due to the self-lubricating property of a single piece of PI material, the top column force of the carrier product is insufficient. The standard requires >80N, while the top column force of untreated PI material is only about 20N, which cannot meet the requirements. To solve these problems, existing technologies such as Chinese patent CN 110752160 A propose a direct packaging process to simplify the process through double-sided exposure. However, this solution still uses non-recyclable epoxy resin fiberglass cloth, resulting in waste of resources and environmental problems. At the same time, when preparing single-sided and double-sided carriers using traditional processes, there are problems such as complex processes, low efficiency and substandard top column force, which urgently need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a method for preparing single-sided and double-sided carrier tapes by using double-sided copper-clad PI materials.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A method for preparing single-sided and double-sided carrier tapes using double-sided copper-clad PI materials comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1. Substrate selection: Double-sided copper-clad PI material is selected as the carrier tape substrate;

[0007] S2. Stamping: Stamping the carrier tape substrate to form edge perforations on the double-sided copper-clad PI material;

[0008] S3. Pretreatment: Clean the carrier substrate by washing with water to remove surface contamination, and then micro-etch with dilute sulfuric acid to remove the surface oxide layer;

[0009] S4, dry film pressing: Press the dry film on the carrier substrate, and use a laminator to apply the dry film to the contact surface and welding surface of the carrier substrate;

[0010] S5. Exposure: Expose the dry film by vacuuming and irradiating it with ultraviolet light to transfer the pattern on the film to the dry film.

[0011] S6, development: dissolve the dry film that has not been irradiated with ultraviolet light with a sodium carbonate solution, and retain the developed dry film;

[0012] S7, etching: etching the developed carrier substrate, using an acidic copper chloride solution to dissolve and corrode the copper exposed after development;

[0013] S8, laser punching: laser punching is performed on the etched carrier substrate, and the PI material in the center of the copper ring is removed by laser equipment to expose the copper layer of the carrier substrate;

[0014] S9, cleaning: Clean the carrier substrate to remove the copper oxide layer at a cleaning speed of 5-7 m / min;

[0016] S11. Cutting: Cut the carrier tape substrate by a cutting device to obtain single-sided and double-sided carrier tapes with a width of 35 cm.

[0017] This technical solution transforms double-sided copper-clad PI (PI) carrier tape substrates through substrate selection, stamping, pretreatment, dry film pressing, exposure, development, etching, laser punching, cleaning, electroplating, and slitting, ultimately producing single-sided and double-sided carrier tapes with a lift force greater than 80N.

Specifically, double-sided copper-clad PI material is superior to thermosetting materials made from epoxy resin fiberglass cloth; the selection of double-sided copper-clad PI as the carrier tape substrate, as PI material is a thermoplastic and recyclable material, is conducive to the sustainable development of resources. Punching is performed on the double-sided copper-clad PI material to obtain edge perforations for easy subsequent processing and positioning; surface contamination is removed by water washing, and then the oxide layer is removed by micro-etching with dilute sulfuric acid to ensure the quality of subsequent processes; a dry film is applied to the contact surface and the bonding surface of the carrier substrate using a laminator to prepare for subsequent patterning; the film pattern is transferred to the dry film by ultraviolet irradiation under a vacuum environment; a sodium carbonate solution is used to dissolve the unexposed part of the dry film to retain the required pattern; an acidic copper chloride solution is used to dissolve the copper layer exposed after development to form a circuit pattern; a laser device is used to remove the PI material in the center of the copper ring to expose the copper layer for subsequent connection; the carrier substrate is cleaned to remove the copper oxide layer to ensure a clean surface; the contact surface is gold-plated and the bonding surface is soft gold-plated to enhance the corrosion resistance of the pattern on the front and the solderability of the bonding surface; a slitting device is used to cut the carrier substrate into single-sided and double-sided carriers with a width of 35 cm.

The upper and lower sides of the material are exposed simultaneously, with the front side exposed to produce the contact surface pattern. The back side does not need to be exposed. The exposure energy is measured using a 41-grid exposure scale, and the upper exposure light energy is 15 grids. The lower exposure light is turned off, and the exposure speed is 1m / min:

[0118] S12, Development: Use the weak alkalinity of sodium carbonate aqueous solution to dissolve the dry film in the area not irradiated by ultraviolet light, and retain the dry film in the area irradiated by ultraviolet light. The concentration of sodium carbonate solution is 5g / L, the development temperature is 25℃, and the development speed is 4m / min:

[0119] S13, etching: The copper exposed after development is dissolved and corroded with acidic copper chloride; the specific gravity of the acidic copper chloride solution is 1.1g / cm 3 , etching temperature is 50℃, etching speed is 4m / min:

[0120] S14. Electroplating: Gold-plating the contact surface of the product. Use Deli neutral gold plating solution or other finished electroplating solution. Heat the plating solution to 50°C and use a current density of 0.3ASD for electroplating for 8 seconds. Soft gold electroplating is performed on the bonding surface. Use Deli neutral gold plating solution or other finished electroplating solution. Connect the product to the cathode of a DC power supply and use a platinum titanium mesh as the anode to electroplate the bonding surface of the product. Heat the plating solution to 70°C and use a current density of 6ASD for electroplating for 15 seconds.

[0121] S15, cutting: Use cutting equipment to cut the product into finished products with a width of 35 cm.

[0122] Combine Figure 2 The comparison chart of the ejection force test shows that Examples 1-3 achieve ejection forces of 95.8N, 100.6N, and 97.4N, respectively, meeting the standard and averaging 100N. In contrast, Comparative Examples 1-2 achieve only 25.2N and 28N, respectively, with an average ejection force below 28N, far below the standard. This demonstrates that the present invention achieves superior ejection force performance due to copper etching away from the bonding surface, leaving copper filaments on the PI surface, resulting in a roughened PI surface.

[0123] Besides the difference in ejector force, Comparative Example 2 shows that the production of double-sided IC card carrier tape in Comparative Example 2 requires two repetitions of the pre-treatment - dry film pressing - exposure - development - etching production process, resulting in low production efficiency. The present invention uses double-sided copper-clad PI material, requiring only a single production process, resulting in higher production efficiency. Furthermore, existing IC card carrier tape production uses epoxy resin fiberglass cloth, a thermosetting material that cannot be recycled and reused. Long-term use places a significant burden on the environment, making it an environmentally unfriendly material. PI, on the other hand, is a thermoplastic material that can be recycled and is environmentally friendly.
