Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a low warpage copper clad laminate and its manufacturing process. Background Technology
[0002] In modern electronics manufacturing, copper clad laminate (CCL) is a fundamental material for printed circuit boards (PCBs), and its quality directly affects the performance and reliability of the PCB. CEM-1 type CCL, in particular, is widely used in multilayer and double-sided boards due to its high cost-effectiveness and good mechanical strength. However, CEM-1 CCL warping (hereinafter referred to as substrate warping) is a product defect that is of great concern to CCL manufacturers, PCB manufacturers, and related users, yet it is also very difficult to resolve. It is also a major concern for electronics assembly plants and related users.
[0003] Substrate warping not only affects the smooth progress of PCB manufacturing processes, such as causing pattern deformation or board jamming on automated PCB production lines, but also hinders the automated insertion and placement of electronic components. More seriously, substrate warping can cause integrated circuit contacts to fail to make proper contact with PCB pads, and the stress generated by warping can also cause contact breakage, leading to an increased scrap rate. Furthermore, substrate warping also poses challenges to the installation and use of electronic devices; for example, the PCB may be difficult to insert into a socket, and even if successfully inserted, poor contact may affect the device's functionality.
[0004] To address the issue of substrate warpage, the applicant designed a low-warpage copper-clad laminate and its fabrication process. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-warpage copper-clad laminate and its manufacturing process to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] The technical solution to achieve the objective of this invention is:
[0007] A low-warpage copper-clad laminate is provided, wherein the low-warpage copper-clad laminate is first obtained by completely and uniformly impregnating glass fiber cloth with copper-clad laminate adhesive and then drying it to obtain a prepreg; then several prepreg sheets with flat surfaces and uniform coating are stacked together, and copper foil is attached to the top and bottom and hot-pressed to obtain the laminate; the copper-clad laminate adhesive comprises, by weight, 80-100 parts epoxy resin, 44-55 parts low-shrinkage curing agent, 1.6-2 parts accelerator, 10-30 parts flame retardant, and 90-110 parts solvent.
[0008] Furthermore, the low-shrinkage curing agent is obtained by compounding polycarboxylated POSS and thioctic acid.
[0009] Furthermore, the accelerator is accelerator DMP-30.
[0010] Furthermore, the flame retardant is any one of toluene diphenyl ester, trichloropropyl phosphate, DOPO, and hexaphenoxycyclotriphosphazene.
[0011] Furthermore, the solvent is a mixture of butanone and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate.
[0012] Furthermore, a fabrication process for a low-warpage copper-clad laminate includes the following steps:
[0013] (1) Preparation of copper clad laminate adhesive: After cleaning the adhesive tank, add 90-110 parts by weight of solvent to the adhesive tank, then add 80-100 parts by weight of epoxy resin and 44-55 parts by weight of low shrinkage curing agent, stir at 70-90 r / min for 2.5-3.5 h to mix evenly, then add 1.6-2 parts by weight of accelerator and 10-30 parts by weight of flame retardant, stir at 800-1200 rpm for 5-7 h, remove bubbles after curing to obtain copper clad laminate adhesive;
[0014] (2) Preparation of semi-cured sheet: The copper-clad laminate adhesive is completely and evenly impregnated with glass fiber cloth and then placed in an oven at 115~125℃ for baking to obtain a semi-cured sheet. The adhesive content is controlled to be about 45% and the flowability is about 30%.
[0015] (3) Take several flat and evenly coated semi-cured sheets, stack them, attach copper foil on the top and bottom, place them in a vacuum hot press with a pressure of 5~17MPa and a temperature of 160~180℃, hot press for 90~130min and keep warm for 0.8~1.2h.
[0016] Furthermore, the warp yarn count of the glass cloth is 38-42 yarns / inch, and the weft yarn count is 36-40 yarns / inch.
[0017] Furthermore, the low-shrinkage curing agent is obtained by mixing polycarboxylated POSS and thioctic acid in a mass ratio of 2 to 4:1.
[0018] Further, the preparation steps of the polycarboxylated POSS are as follows: 44-46 parts by mass of acrylic acid, 0.4-0.6 parts by mass of cage-type octavinylsilsesquioxane, 4-6 parts by mass of tetrahydrofuran, 0.9-1.1 parts by mass of sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 38-42 parts by mass of deionized water are mixed and stirred at 80-90°C for 55-65 minutes. 11-13 parts by mass of potassium persulfate are added in three equal portions in three separate additions, with an interval of 30 minutes between each addition. After the addition is complete, the reaction is carried out for 5-7 hours to obtain the polycarboxylated POSS.
[0019] Further, the preparation steps of the cage-type octavinylsilsesquioxane are as follows: 400 parts by mass of acetone and 62-64 parts by mass of vinyltrimethoxysilane are mixed, and 129-131 parts by mass of 37% hydrochloric acid solution and 100-120 parts by mass of deionized water are added dropwise at 4-6 drops / s. After the addition is completed, the mixture is reacted at 30-50°C for 47-49 hours, cooled, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain the cage-type octavinylsilsesquioxane.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] (1) The present invention improves the copper clad laminate adhesive by introducing a low shrinkage curing agent to reduce the curing shrinkage of epoxy resin, thereby shortening the shrinkage difference between epoxy resin and glass cloth and copper foil, thereby reducing the internal stress generated inside the product after curing, and thus reducing the warpage of copper clad laminate.
[0022] (2) The low shrinkage curing agent of the present invention is obtained by compounding polycarboxylated POSS and thioctic acid. By introducing polycarboxylated POSS, the curing agent can add a rigid POSS structure to the copper clad laminate adhesive, thereby toughening and modifying the adhesive, thereby reducing the curing shrinkage rate of the copper clad laminate adhesive. At the same time, the addition of POSS greatly increases the number of silicon-oxygen bonds and carbon-silicon bonds, effectively reducing the number of polarized molecules per unit volume. Moreover, the POSS structure has its own cavity characteristics, which effectively reduces the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the copper clad laminate adhesive. Even if volume shrinkage inevitably occurs during the curing process, the introduction of thioctic acid can cause the polymer network of the prepreg to be destroyed and rearranged in the subsequent hot pressing step, while maintaining the crosslinking density basically unchanged, ensuring that the mechanical properties of the copper clad laminate are not affected. At the same time, it effectively reduces the stress caused by volume shrinkage, thereby reducing the warping phenomenon of the copper clad laminate.
[0023] (3) Compared with traditional glass cloth with a warp yarn density of 42-46 threads / inch and a weft yarn density of 32-36 threads / inch, the glass cloth of the present invention has a warp yarn density of 38-42 threads / inch and a weft yarn density of 36-40 threads / inch. The number of threads per inch in the warp and weft directions is more similar, and the distribution of adhesive in the glass cloth is more uniform, thereby reducing the problem of inconsistent curing shrinkage caused by the difference in yarn density. This not only improves the consistency of curing shrinkage rate in the radial and weft directions of the glass cloth, but also effectively reduces the warping phenomenon of copper clad laminate during the curing process.
