AI Technical Summary
During the preparation of existing PCB printed circuit boards, the contact angle on the ink surface is abnormal, resulting in poor wetting of tin beads and difficult to diffusion. The influence factor of the welding barrier process on the contact angle is unclear, resulting in poor wetting of tin on the client, resulting in return and complaints.
After the PCB substrate is subjected to a gong plate, the straightening process is added, and the parameters of straightening are controlled. At high temperature/a certain pressure, the ink curing degree and surface recombination are increased, thereby changing the contact angle of the ink surface. At the same time, the nickel gold layer is deposited on the surface of the PCB substrate and UV light curing is performed again to improve the curing rate and contact angle of the ink surface.
It effectively increases the contact angle of the ink surface to reach the customer's requirements of 75+/-15 degrees, Cpk>1.33, reducing the scrap rate caused by the ink contact angle not meeting the standard, thereby improving economic benefits.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of PCB printed circuit boards, and in particular to a method for preparing a PCB printed circuit board. Background Art
[0002] In PCB printed circuit boards, in order to cope with the newly added ink surface contact angle detection project, when the ink contact angle is abnormal, the following will appear Figure 1 The solder beads have poor wetting and are difficult to spread when mounting the parts shown. After internal testing, research and analysis, it was found that the differences in different production processes lead to certain differences in the contact angle of the ink surface. At present, there is a blank area in the industry's research on contact angle in the solder mask printing process. The factors affecting the contact angle of the solder mask process and the process level are still unclear. In addition, the client is faced with returns and complaints due to poor tin wetting. In addition, the current process has an ink contact angle that exceeds the standard (75+ / -15 degrees, DI underwater), and Cpk cannot meet the requirements.
[0003] Wetting: When a drop of water is dropped onto a solid surface, during the contact between the liquid and the solid, the solid-liquid interface gradually replaces the gas-liquid interface and the gas-solid interface. This process is called wetting. Surface energy is the non-volume work done on a substance in order to reversibly increase the surface area of a system under the conditions of constant temperature, constant pressure, and constant humidity. It can measure the surface tension of a substance. Liquid drops onto a solid surface, and as the liquid spreads, it covers the solid surface, forming a drop that rests on its surface. We use the contact angle to describe the shape of the drop formed by the liquid and the solid plane. The accurate contact angle is the angle θ from the solid-liquid interface through the liquid interior to the gas interface at the junction of the solid, liquid, and gas phases. Among them, Figure 2 The formula shown is the basic formula for wetting, also known as the wetting equation, which can be regarded as the result of the balance of three interfacial tensions at the junction of three phases. In specific applications, we use the size of the contact angle as an important indicator for judging wettability.
[0004] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the following process points are selected to measure the contact angle during the preparation of PCB printed circuit boards: (1) Measurement after UV curing: After UV curing, the thermal curing and light curing of the ink have been completed, and the basic properties of the ink have been stabilized; (2) After immersion gold film stripping: immersion gold needs to be attacked by a variety of chemicals, and the film stripping chemicals are also very aggressive to the ink, and the contact angle of the ink surface decreases to a certain extent; (3) After OSP+ cleaning: When the finished product is packaged, the contact angle of the ink surface is similar to that after immersion gold film stripping, but there is a risk of exceeding the lower limit at a single point (75 degrees + / - 15 degrees); Among them, the contact angle of the ink surface decreases accordingly from UV curing to immersion gold and after OSP.
[0005] In view of this, this application is filed. Summary of the invention

[0144] (3) performing a nickel-gold treatment on the PCB substrate to deposit a nickel-gold layer on the surface of the PCB substrate;
[0145] Specifically, in the gold-immersion area (non-photosensitive oil OSP), a nickel-gold layer is formed on the copper surface by chemical replacement to form a gold surface pad. After gold-immersion, an organic film-removing solution (organic alkali system) is used to remove the photosensitive oil in the OSP area to expose the OSP copper surface area. This process is aggressive to the ink surface. The film-removing time is controlled to be 90s, the film-removing point is 40%, and the film-removing temperature is 50°C. Otherwise, the ink is prone to whitening / peeling, and the ink contact angle is abnormal.
[0146] (4) Divide the PCB substrate into PCB unit boards to obtain PCB printed circuit boards.
[0147] Test Example 1
[0148] Contact angle test: The measuring instrument uses SDP-300 contact angle meter, which uses CCD to obtain the front image of the water droplet contacting the surface of the object, and then uses software to fit the shape of the water droplet to calculate the contact angle between the water droplet and the surface of the object.
[0149] Measuring liquid: DI water and CH2I2 are used to measure liquid. The two liquids have different surface tension, polarity component and dispersion component, which can be used to calculate the surface energy of the object surface.
[0150] Straight board expansion and contraction size: produce 60pnl as 1 lot, extract 5pnl / lot, and measure the difference between the expansion and contraction diagonal target distance and the design standard value.
[0151] Among them, the contact angle diagrams of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 are as follows: Figure 4 shown.
[0152] Table 1
[0153]
[0154] As can be seen from Table 1, the present invention adds a straightening treatment after the PCB substrate is grouted, and controls the straightening parameters. Under high temperature / certain pressure, the curing degree of the ink is improved and the surface is reorganized, thereby changing the contact angle of the ink surface, effectively improving the contact angle of the ink surface to meet customer requirements (75+ / -15 degrees, cpk>1.33), ultimately reducing the scrapping caused by the ink contact angle not meeting the standard, and improving economic benefits.
[0155] Test Example 2
[0156] The water contact angles of Examples 8 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were tested according to the method of Test Example 1 (no expansion or contraction of the dimensions, no expansion or contraction test was performed).

[0159] It can be seen from Table 2 that the present invention performs UV light curing again after the nickel-gold layer is deposited on the surface of the PCB substrate, which effectively improves the ink surface curing rate, reduces the ink surface roughness, and increases the ink surface contact angle, thereby meeting customer requirements (75+ / -15 degrees, cpk>1.33) and ultimately reduces the scrapping caused by the ink contact angle not meeting the standard, thereby improving economic benefits.
[0160] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
