The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
[0037] The present application provides an etching solution for a soldering layer. In order to better understand the etching solution for a soldering layer of the present application, the etching solution for a soldering layer of the present application is further explained below:
[0038] The solder layer etching solution of one embodiment comprises the following components in parts by weight: 20 to 30 parts of hydrogen peroxide; 2 to 10 parts of acid; 2 to 10 parts of methylene phosphonic acid compound; and 20 to 40 parts of inorganic fluoride. The aqueous solution of the inorganic fluoride is alkaline.
[0039] The above-mentioned solder layer etching solution uses phosphoric acid and methylene phosphate as stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide, effectively achieving selective etching of the solder layer; further, hydrogen peroxide is combined with inorganic fluoride, and the aqueous solution of inorganic fluoride is alkaline, effectively achieving efficient and sufficient etching of the solder layer, thereby improving the production capacity of the ceramic substrate.
[0040] It should be noted that when the concentration of inorganic fluoride is low or high, it will affect the etching efficiency of the brazing layer. In addition, when the concentration of phosphoric acid and methylene phosphate is low, it will affect the selective etching of the brazing layer, while when the concentration is high, it will affect the etching sufficiency of the brazing layer. And, when the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is low, it will affect the etching efficiency of the brazing layer, while when the concentration is high, it will affect the selective etching of the brazing layer.
[0041] In one embodiment, the methylene phosphonic acid compound includes at least one of nitrilo trimethylene phosphonic acid, ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid, diethylene triamine pentamethylene phosphonic acid, diethylene triamine pentamethylene phosphonic acid and tetraethylene pentamine heptamethylene phosphonic acid, which better ensures the stabilization effect of hydrogen peroxide.
[0042] In one embodiment, the inorganic fluoride includes at least one of sodium fluoride, ammonium fluoride and potassium fluoride. It can be understood that if the inorganic fluoride is a strong acidic substance, although the efficient etching of the brazing layer is achieved, the etching intensity of the copper layer outside the brazing layer is enhanced, thereby affecting the quality of the ceramic substrate. The inorganic fluoride is controlled to be alkaline, so that the pH of the etching solution for the brazing layer is maintained between 6 and 7, which is better to ensure the selective etching of the brazing layer, and achieve efficient and sufficient etching of the brazing layer, thereby improving the production capacity of the ceramic substrate.
[0043] In one embodiment, the method for preparing the solder layer etching solution comprises the following steps: mixing phosphoric acid and methylene phosphate in water, then adding hydrogen peroxide to mix, and then adding inorganic fluoride to mix. Furthermore, the volume percentage of hydrogen peroxide in the solder layer etching solution is 20% to 30%.
[0044] The present application also provides a ceramic substrate etching method, wherein the brazing layer etching solution of any of the above embodiments is used to etch the ceramic substrate. The above ceramic substrate etching method comprises the following steps: obtaining a ceramic substrate; mixing and opening the brazing layer etching solution to obtain an etching treatment solution; placing the ceramic substrate in the etching treatment solution for etching to obtain a ceramic substrate.
[0045] The above-mentioned ceramic substrate etching method uses the solder layer etching solution to etch the ceramic substrate, which effectively realizes the selective etching of the solder layer and effectively realizes the efficient and sufficient etching of the solder layer, thereby improving the production capacity of the ceramic substrate.
[0046] In order to better understand the etching method of the ceramic substrate of the present application, the etching method of the ceramic substrate of the present application is further explained below:
[0047] Please also read Figure 1 , a ceramic substrate etching method according to one embodiment comprises the following steps:
[0048] S100, obtaining a ceramic substrate. It can be understood that the ceramic substrate is an aluminum oxide ceramic substrate or a nitrogen oxide ceramic substrate, which better ensures the excellent performance of the ceramic substrate.
[0049] S200, the brazing layer etching solution is mixed and opened to obtain an etching treatment solution. It can be understood that the brazing layer etching solution is a basic etching solution with a high concentration, which is conducive to the storage and transportation of the brazing layer etching solution. Before the brazing layer etching solution is used to etch the ceramic substrate, it is necessary to open a cylinder to prepare a diluent of the brazing layer etching solution to etch the ceramic substrate.
[0050] S300, placing the ceramic substrate in an etching solution to perform etching operation to obtain a ceramic substrate, thereby ensuring that the brazing layer on the ceramic substrate is efficiently and fully etched away.
[0051] The above-mentioned ceramic substrate etching method uses the solder layer etching solution to etch the ceramic substrate, which effectively realizes the selective etching of the solder layer and effectively realizes the efficient and sufficient etching of the solder layer, thereby improving the production capacity of the ceramic substrate.
[0052] In one embodiment, the solder layer etching solution is mixed and opened, and the specific steps are as follows: water is added to the solder layer etching solution for dilution. Further, the ratio of the solder layer etching solution to water in the etching treatment solution is 1: (4-5). Further, the water is deionized water or pure water, which better ensures the etching effect of the solder layer.
[0053] In one embodiment, before the step of obtaining the ceramic substrate, the method for etching the ceramic substrate further includes the following steps:
[0054] After the ceramic substrate is dry filmed, exposed and developed, a copper etching solution is used to form a copper-clad pattern layer and expose the solder layer. It can be understood that the operation of dry filming, exposure and development of the ceramic substrate, and etching the copper layer with a copper etchant is a relatively conventional operation, so this application will not repeat it. In one embodiment, the ceramic substrate is placed in an etching treatment solution for etching, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0055] Immersing the ceramic substrate in an etching solution to perform primary etching;
[0056] Hydrogen peroxide is added to the etching solution to perform secondary etching.
[0057] In one embodiment, the ceramic substrate is immersed in an etching solution for primary etching, and the specific steps are as follows: the ceramic substrate is added into the etching solution and completely immersed, the temperature is 30° C. to 32° C., and the treatment time is 10 min to 15 min.
[0058] In one embodiment, hydrogen peroxide is added to the etching solution for secondary etching, and the specific steps are as follows: 30% hydrogen peroxide and solder layer etching solution are poured into the etching solution while stirring, and then allowed to stand. It can be understood that 30% hydrogen peroxide is an aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 30% hydrogen peroxide.
[0059] In one embodiment, the pouring speed of 30% hydrogen peroxide is 10 mL / s·L to 20 mL / s·L, where 10 mL / s·L means that 10 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide is poured into each liter of etching solution per second.
[0060] In one embodiment, the pouring speed of the solder layer etching solution is 12 mL / s·L to 25 mL / s·L, and 10 mL / s·L means that 10 mL of the solder layer etching solution is poured into each liter of etching solution per second.
[0061] In one embodiment, the stirring speed is 60 r / min to 80 r / min.
[0062] In one embodiment, 50 mL to 100 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide is added per liter of etching solution. In one embodiment, 80 mL to 150 ml of solder layer etching solution is added per liter of etching solution.
[0063] In one embodiment, 30% hydrogen peroxide and solder layer etching solution are poured into the etching solution while stirring, and the temperature is 35° C. to 38° C. Furthermore, stirring is stopped immediately after the solder layer etching solution is poured.
[0064] In one embodiment, the temperature of the static treatment is 35°C to 38°C, and the time is 5min to 8min. It can be understood that the ceramic substrate is initially etched in the etching solution. At this time, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and inorganic fluoride in the etching solution cannot be controlled too high, otherwise metals that do not need to be etched, such as copper, will be etched, resulting in pits on the surface of the copper-clad pattern layer. Since the concentrations of phosphoric acid and methylene phosphate in the etching solution are relatively high, hydrogen peroxide has a good stabilizing effect and can better protect metals that do not need to be etched, such as copper, but it has a greater impact on the etching efficiency of the ceramic substrate. Further, the ceramic substrate is immersed in the etching solution for 10min to 8min. After 15 minutes, 30% hydrogen peroxide and solder layer etching solution are added to the etching solution, and the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and inorganic fluoride in the etching solution are adjusted, thereby accelerating the etching efficiency of the solder layer of the ceramic substrate. In addition, due to the protective treatment of phosphoric acid and methylene phosphate with higher concentrations in the early stage, the selective etching of the ceramic substrate can still be ensured after the adjusted concentrations of phosphoric acid and methylene phosphate decrease, thereby better ensuring the selective etching of the ceramic substrate and better improving the etching efficiency of the ceramic substrate, thereby better ensuring the quality and production capacity of the ceramic substrate.
[0065] It should be noted that the ceramic substrate actually mainly contains Ag, Cu, Ti and Al. The general process is to first etch away the Ag on the surface of the ceramic substrate, then scoop up and wash the remaining etching solution, and further etch the Cu, Ti and Al. This will increase the operating steps of the ceramic substrate and extend the production capacity of the ceramic substrate.
[0066] It should also be noted that if the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the secondary etching is too high, the local hydrogen peroxide concentration in the etching solution will be too high, which may easily cause the etching of metals that do not need to be etched, such as copper. If the concentration is too low, the amount of hydrogen peroxide added will be large and the addition time will be long. Excessive stirring of the etching solution will affect the etching uniformity of the ceramic substrate, thereby affecting the quality of the ceramic substrate.
[0067] It should also be noted that the step of pouring 30% hydrogen peroxide and solder layer etching solution into the etching solution while stirring is not a conventional refilling step. The purpose of refilling is to replenish the substances consumed in the etching solution. The pouring of 30% hydrogen peroxide and solder layer etching solution in the secondary etching is to control the concentration of each substance in the etching solution to change in stages over time, thereby achieving an increase in the production capacity of the ceramic substrate.
[0068] It should also be noted that after etching the ceramic substrate, a large amount of etching treatment liquid waste will be left over. The etching treatment liquid waste is tested for Cu ions. If the Cu ion concentration is less than 1g / L, the consumed substances are supplemented and adjusted to obtain the etching treatment liquid for recycling; if the Cu ion concentration is greater than 1g / L, the waste liquid is treated.
[0069] The present application also provides a ceramic substrate obtained by the etching method of the ceramic substrate of any of the above embodiments.
[0070] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:
[0071] The soldering layer etching solution of the present invention uses phosphoric acid and methylene phosphate as stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide, thereby effectively achieving selective etching of the soldering layer; further, the hydrogen peroxide is coordinated with an inorganic fluoride, and the aqueous solution of the inorganic fluoride is alkaline, thereby effectively achieving efficient and sufficient etching of the soldering layer, thereby improving the production capacity of the ceramic substrate.

[0123] Please see Figures 2 to 7 , which are respectively the appearance diagrams of the ceramic substrates of Examples 1 to 6 before etching (a) and after etching (b). From Table 1, Figures 2 to 7 It can be seen that the schemes of Examples 1 to 6 of the present application better achieve efficient and sufficient etching of the solder layer, and improve the production capacity and quality of the ceramic substrate; while Examples 11 to 12 change the addition speed of 30% hydrogen peroxide and the solder layer etching solution for the secondary etching, resulting in the formation of pits on the surface of the copper-clad graphic layer on the surface of the ceramic substrate, affecting the brightness of the surface of the copper-clad graphic layer, that is, the addition speed of 30% hydrogen peroxide and the solder layer etching solution for the secondary etching affects the local concentration of the ceramic substrate, thereby making the concentration too high or too low, affecting the quality or production capacity of the ceramic substrate.
