Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic resistor manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to an etching method for bendable resistors. Background Art

[0002] Bendable resistors generally refer to those resistors with certain flexibility and bendability, which can adapt to certain deformations without affecting their resistance performance. They have broad application prospects in electronic devices and systems in the fields of flexible electronic devices, space exploration and satellite communication, biomedical devices, robots and automation devices, automobiles, aerospace, and military. In these fields, the devices need to withstand various complex mechanical stresses and environmental changes, and bendable resistors can provide stable electrical performance and reliable connections.

[0003] Among them, the commonly used bendable resistors include stainless steel bendable resistors. The reasons are as follows: Stainless steel bendable resistors can usually provide high resistance accuracy, and the error range is usually within a certain percentage, which can meet the needs of precision electronic devices. At the same time, its resistance changes little during use, has good long-term stability, ensures the continuous reliability of circuit performance, and stainless steel bendable resistors have high mechanical strength, can withstand a certain amount of bending and tensile forces, and ensure the reliability of the resistor during long-term use. Stainless steel bendable resistors are durable, have a long lifespan, can reduce the frequency of replacement and maintenance, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0004] The preparation of stainless steel bendable resistors mainly uses the etching method. The surface of the stainless steel is processed very smoothly by the etching method, and very fine shapes and patterns are processed. This is crucial for bendable resistors that require precise shapes and tiny details. Through the etching method, the resistance accuracy and stability of the resistor can be ensured to meet the requirements of precision electronic devices. However, there are some limitations in traditional etching processes, such as uneven etching and rough edges. Among them, due to improper control of factors such as the concentration, temperature, and etching time of chemical solutions, uneven etching will occur. Improper control of the ratio of the etching solution or the etching time will lead to rough edges. These problems of unevenness and rough edges will affect the resistance accuracy and stability of the resistor, and thus affect the performance and reliability of the resistor.

[0005] To solve the above problems, manufacturers use the method of high-temperature etching to accelerate chemical reactions by increasing the etching temperature. However, this will lead to a decrease in etching uniformity and accuracy, so improvement is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the problems of existing uneven etching, rough edges, and high costs, this application provides an etching method for bendable resistors.

[0007] The present application provides an etching method for bendable resistors, adopting the following technical solutions:

[0008] An etching method for bendable resistors includes the following preparation steps:

[0009] S1. Select stainless steel material, perform high-temperature cleaning on the surface, and use a dyne pen to detect that the stainless steel surface reaches the 52# standard;

[0010] S2. Perform double-sided screen printing on the stainless steel material, conduct optical analysis by LDI exposure, and develop and form to obtain a stainless steel material with a circuit;

[0011] S3. Spray the etching solution onto the stainless steel material with a circuit through upper and lower spray trays for etching. Among them, adjust the upper and lower spray trays so that the height difference between the upper and lower spray trays is 40 - 60 mm, set the spraying pressure to 3.5 - 5.0 kg / cm 2 , and control the temperature within the range of 10 - 20 °C;

[0012] S4. Clean the etched stainless steel material to obtain a bendable resistor.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, the uniformity and precision of etching are improved, effectively avoiding the common problems of uneven etching and rough edges in traditional etching processes. The obtained bendable resistors have high resistance accuracy and good stability, and can meet the high requirements of precision electronic devices for resistor performance and reliability.

[0014] Among them, through high-temperature cleaning of the stainless steel surface and using a dyne pen to detect and reach the 52# standard, the cleanliness and uniformity of the stainless steel surface are ensured, providing a good foundation for the subsequent etching process, and helping to reduce the problem of uneven etching caused by surface contamination or unevenness. Adopting double-sided screen printing and LDI exposure for optical analysis, development and forming can accurately control the shape and size of the circuit pattern, ensure the accuracy and consistency of the circuit pattern during etching, and help to avoid problems such as rough edges and shape distortion.

[0015] By adjusting the height difference (40 - 60 mm) between the upper and lower spray trays, setting the spraying pressure (3.5 - 5.0 kg / cm 2 ), and controlling the temperature (within the range of 10 - 20 °C), the contact mode and reaction rate between the etching solution and the stainless steel material surface can be accurately controlled, which helps to achieve the uniformity and stability of the etching process, and avoids the problems of uneven etching and rough edges caused by improper control of etching solution concentration, temperature or time.

[0016] Preferably, in step S3, oxygen is introduced into the etching solution, and the increase amount of oxygen is 0.8 - 1 m 3 / s.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solutions, the chemical reactions in the etching solution are increased, thereby improving the etching rate. At the same time, by controlling the amount of oxygen introduced, it is possible to ensure that the activity of the etching solution remains consistent throughout the etching process, thereby improving the etching uniformity, optimizing the etching quality, reducing the edge roughness phenomenon, and making the edges of the etched pattern smoother. Preferably, a high-precision gas flowmeter can be used to deliver oxygen to ensure that the oxygen flow rate is precisely controllable.

[0018] Preferably, in step S3, the etching speed is 2.5 - 3.5 m / s.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, at an appropriate etching speed, the etching solution can uniformly contact and react with the stainless steel surface, thereby ensuring the etching uniformity, which helps to improve the resistance value accuracy and stability in the process of preparing the bendable resistor. At the same time, it reduces the production cost and meets the high requirements of precision electronic devices for resistor performance.

[0020] Preferably, the etching solution is prepared from the following raw materials by weight percentage:

[0021] Ferric chloride 20 - 40%

[0022] Hydrochloric acid 4 - 8%

[0023] Ammonium persulfate 1 - 2%

[0024] Ferrous chloride 1 - 3%

[0025] Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether 4 - 8%

[0026] Tartaric acid 1 - 3%

[0027] The balance is water.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solutions, using an etching solution prepared from raw materials with specific weight percentages can significantly improve the etching accuracy and uniformity, optimize the etching speed and surface quality, and improve the stability and service life of the etching solution in the process of preparing the bendable resistor. These effects act together on the resistor preparation process, helping to improve the resistance value accuracy and stability of the resistor.

[0029] Ferric chloride, the main component of the etching solution, has strong oxidizing properties and can undergo redox reactions with metal ions on the stainless steel surface, thereby achieving the etching effect. Hydrochloric acid also adjusts the pH of the etching solution, promoting the etching reaction. Ammonium persulfate accelerates the chemical reactions during the etching process, thereby increasing the etching rate. It also reduces the oxidation reaction between water in the solution and silicon, reducing hydrogen production and promoting a smooth and uniform etching reaction. Ferrous chloride has reducing properties and can react with metal ions generated during the etching process to form the corresponding metal chloride, thereby preventing metal ion accumulation from interfering with the etching process. The addition of ferrous chloride also improves the stability of the etching solution. Ethylene glycol ether and tartaric acid, as additives, can adjust the viscosity and surface tension of the etching solution, thereby improving its fluidity and wettability. This helps the etching solution better penetrate into the tiny gaps on the stainless steel surface, achieving a more refined etching effect.

[0030] Preferably, the ink used for double-sided screen printing in step S2 is prepared by the following method:

[0031] 1) Add maleic rosin resin and modified epoxy acrylic resin into a reaction kettle, heat and stir thoroughly, and continue stirring until all of them become liquid;

[0032] 2) Adding water-based acrylic resin, polyvinyl alcohol, surfactant and distilled water to the above reaction kettle, stirring continuously at a temperature of 45-55°C until all the ingredients are dissolved;

[0033] 3) placing a wetting agent, defoaming agent, nano-metal oxide powder and dispersant into the above reaction kettle and continuously stirring at a temperature of 40-50°C;

[0034] 4) After completion, let it stand and finally filter the material to obtain ink.

[0035] The ink prepared using this technical solution improves the ink's adhesion during double-sided screen printing. The maleic rosin resin and modified epoxy acrylic resin enhance the ink's adhesion, ensuring it resists detachment during etching, facilitating subsequent etching. The addition of water-based acrylic resin and polyvinyl alcohol adjusts the ink's fluidity and viscosity, allowing it to be evenly and smoothly applied to the stainless steel surface during double-sided screen printing. This helps achieve finer, clearer printed patterns and improves the resistor's resistance accuracy and stability.

[0036] The addition of surfactants and dispersants can significantly improve the dispersibility and stability of nano metal oxide powders in the ink. They can reduce the surface tension of the ink, promote the uniform dispersion of nano metal oxide powders in the ink, and prevent particle agglomeration and precipitation. This helps to ensure that the ink can uniformly and consistently etch the stainless steel surface during the etching process, achieving a finer etching effect. The addition of wetting agents can improve the wettability of the ink on the stainless steel surface, making it easier for the ink to be coated on the surface. The addition of defoamers can prevent the ink from generating bubbles during the printing process, which affects the printing effect.

[0037] Preferably, the weight parts of the raw materials used for preparing the ink are as follows:

[0038] Maleic acid rosin resin: 3 - 5 parts

[0039] Modified epoxy acrylate resin: 1 - 2 parts

[0040] Waterborne acrylic resin: 5 - 10 parts

[0041] Polyvinyl alcohol: 5 - 10 parts

[0042] Surfactant: 1 - 2 parts

[0043] Distilled water: 25 - 30 parts

[0044] Wetting agent: 3 - 5 parts

[0045] Defoamer: 1 - 2 parts

[0046] Nano metal oxide powder: 4 - 8 parts

[0047] Dispersant: 2 - 3 parts.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution and optimizing the dosage of the prepared ink, the ink has a suitable viscosity and fluidity, which is beneficial to improving the adhesion of the ink, ensuring that the ink is not easy to fall off during the etching process, and facilitating subsequent etching.

[0049] Preferably, the fluid viscosity of the modified epoxy acrylate resin at 25°C is 15000 - 25000 mPa·s, and the acid value is less than 3 mgKOH / g.

[0050] By adopting the above technical solution, the fluid viscosity of the modified epoxy acrylate resin at 25°C is within a moderate range, neither too viscous nor too thin, which enables the ink to be uniformly and smoothly coated on the stainless steel surface during the double-sided screen printing process, helps to achieve a finer and clearer pattern printing effect, and improves the resistance value accuracy and stability.

[0051] Preferably, the acid value of the maleic acid rosin resin is 16 - 220 mgKOH / g, and the softening point is 108 - 170°C.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, the acid value and softening point of maleic rosin are optimized, further improving the good fluidity and transferability of the ink, and ensuring the clarity and uniformity of the printed matter.

[0053] Preferably, the high-temperature cleaning process in step S1 is as follows:

[0054] Mix 40 - 50 g / L of sulfuric acid, 80 - 100 g / L of citric acid, 30 - 40 g / L of aminosulfonic acid, 100 - 120 g / L of nano-silica, 40 - 50 g / L of polyethylene glycol, 5 - 15 g / L of hydrogen peroxide, and 4 - 5 g / L of dodecylpyridine to obtain a cleaning solution;

[0055] Heat the stainless-steel material to 100 - 120 °C, then immerse the stainless-steel material in the cleaning solution, ultrasonicate for 1 - 2 h, with an ultrasonic frequency of 50 - 60 kHz and a power of 500 - 600 W, and then rinse with clear water and dry.

[0056] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the stainless-steel material after high-temperature cleaning treatment is smoother and cleaner, which helps the subsequent etching process to proceed more smoothly. Heating the stainless-steel material to 100 - 120 °C increases the surface temperature of the material, making the chemical components in the cleaning solution more active, accelerating the chemical reaction and physical action, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect. Ultrasonication for 1 - 2 h, with a frequency of 50 - 60 kHz and a power of 500 - 600 W, can generate strong vibrations and cavitation effects. These effects can penetrate the tiny gaps on the stainless-steel surface, shake out the stains hidden therein and disperse them into the cleaning solution.

[0057] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0058] 1. In the present application, through steps such as high-temperature cleaning - double-sided screen printing - LDI exposure for optical analysis - low-temperature spraying of etching solution, the foldable resistor prepared has a smoother surface, finer shape and pattern, and significantly improved resistance value accuracy and stability of the resistor, effectively solving the problems of uneven etching and rough edges in the traditional etching process, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the resistor.
