Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallization of copper pads of display panels, and in particular relates to an activation solution for chemical nickel-palladium ion plating of copper pads of display panels and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The metallization of copper pads of display panels is an important process in the production of display panels. As the key connection part in the display panel, the copper pad can be metallized by chemical nickel plating and other methods. Its purpose is to improve the conductivity of the pad to make signal transmission more efficient; prevent copper from diffusing to other material layers to cause performance problems; improve corrosion resistance to cope with the corrosive environment in production and use; at the same time, enhance the hardness and wear resistance of the pad, reduce physical damage in manufacturing, transportation, assembly and other links, and ensure the stability, reliability and service life of the display panel. Since copper is easily oxidized in the air, a layer of copper oxide will form on the surface of the oxidized copper, resulting in decreased conductivity and difficulty in welding. The metallization layer can effectively block the contact between copper and air and prevent the copper pad from being oxidized. In addition, the metallized copper pad can ensure the efficient transmission of electrical signals inside the display panel, reduce resistance, and improve the conductivity of the circuit. After metallization, the solderability can be enhanced, and the pad is easier to be soldered with external leads or other circuit components, ensuring the reliability of the connection and avoiding problems such as cold soldering and desoldering. The electroless plating metallization method of copper pads uses a chemical reaction to deposit a layer of metal on the surface of the copper pad. For example, in the electroless plating of nickel-phosphorus / palladium (NiP-Pd), in a solution containing nickel ions and a reducing agent, nickel ions are reduced to metallic nickel and deposited on the surface of the copper pad. At the same time, phosphorus elements are also co-deposited to form a nickel-phosphorus alloy layer, and then a layer of palladium and gold is plated. This method can be selectively deposited on the bonding pad, the cost is relatively low, and uniform metallization can be achieved on pads of complex shapes. It has good solderability, strong oxidation resistance, and good bonding strength. Therefore, the role of electroless plating pad metallization mainly includes improving the conductivity of the display panel to ensure stable signal transmission, acting as a barrier layer to prevent metal diffusion, enhancing corrosion resistance to extend service life, improving fingerprint recognition sensitivity, and improving surface hardness and wear resistance, which can improve the quality, performance and stability of the display panel.

[0003] The pre-treatment steps of copper-based chemical nickel plating mainly include pickling and oil removal, micro-etching, and activation. The pre-treatment steps are the key steps of chemical nickel plating. The pre-treatment can remove surface oil, oxide layer and rust, make the surface activation uniform, improve surface performance, enhance the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the coating, thereby ensuring the coating bonding force, ensuring the coating uniformity, improving the quality of the coating, and extending the service life of the coating. Among them, the activation process is mainly to form sites with catalytic activity on the surface of the substrate to trigger the chemical nickel plating reaction. The activation step can ensure the coating bonding force and uniformity, improve the quality of the coating, and the currently commonly used method is mainly palladium ion activation. However, at present, chemical nickel plating palladium ion activation will have uneven activation, resulting in copper pads with undesirable problems such as leakage plating and infiltration plating, poor stability of the activation solution, and high cost. At the same time, the palladium ions in the activation solution will corrode the copper pads, thereby causing safety risks such as excessive circuit resistance, poor contact, leakage and poor heat dissipation, thereby causing poor chip signal transmission, storage data loss, logical function interference and other functional problems, and may also cause chip packaging failure and other problems. In order to solve the corrosion problem of the activation solution to the copper substrate, the present invention adds a copper corrosion inhibitor that suppresses copper corrosion in the activation solution, but the conventional alcohol amines, azoles and phosphonic acid copper corrosion inhibitors are easy to coordinate with the palladium ions in the activation solution to generate palladium ion complex precipitation during use, which will affect the stability and activation performance of the activation solution, and it is necessary to add a cosolvent to ensure the stability and activation performance of the activation solution. In addition, the commonly used inorganic iodide stabilizing effect is insufficient, so that the life of the activation solution is not long. Therefore, the palladium ion activation solution formula is optimized, the corrosion of the activation solution to the copper pad is suppressed, and the pad is prevented from leaking and plating, and the stability, activation performance and activation uniformity of the activation solution are improved, which become the problems that the current copper-based chemical nickel plating palladium ion activation solution is concerned about. Summary of the invention

[0058] Effect example: The chemical nickel plating solutions of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are respectively used for chemical nickel plating on LED display copper pad substrates, specifically comprising the following steps: S1. For the copper pad substrate (10mm*15mm) selected as the workpiece for chemical nickel plating, first use the stripping liquid to remove the residual glue on the surface of the copper pad substrate; S2. The copper pad substrate is cleaned with degreasing acid solution for 3 minutes, micro-etched with micro-etching solution for 20 seconds, and then cleaned with ultrapure water; S3. The copper pad substrate is activated by the palladium ion activation solution for 3 minutes and then washed with ultrapure water; S4. The pretreated copper pad substrate is placed in a chemical nickel plating solution and plated at 85° C. for 9 minutes; S5. Clean and dry the nickel-plated silicon wafer with ultrapure water to obtain a nickel-plated part.

[0059] S6. The surface condition of the nickel plating on the copper pad substrate and the corrosion condition of the bottom copper substrate were characterized by FIB (focused ion beam) and ultra-depth microscopy.

[0060] Table 10 Nickel coating surface, bottom copper substrate corrosion and activation solution stability of nickel-plated parts of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0061] Note: No leakage plating means that each unit copper pad (6 small pads) is plated normally, and there is no extension of the plating layer to the non-copper pad area (such as Figure 2 As shown, taking Example 5 as an example); Severe leakage plating means that only some of the small pads of each unit copper pad (6 small pads) are plated normally, and the other pads are black or not plated (such as Figure 5 As shown, taking comparative example 3 as an example); severe infiltration means that the nickel plating extends to the non-copper pad area except the copper substrate (such as Figure 4 As shown, taking Comparative Example 2 as an example); No corrosion means that no corrosion holes appear on the bottom copper substrate after electroless nickel plating (such as Figure 1 As shown, taking Example 5 as an example); severe corrosion means that obvious corrosion holes appear on the bottom copper substrate after chemical nickel plating (such as Figure 3 As shown, taking Comparative Example 1 as an example); the activation liquid is stable, no precipitation means that the activation liquid is clear, no precipitation occurs, and it can be used normally; the activation liquid is unstable, precipitation means that the activation liquid is turbid, obvious precipitation occurs, and it cannot be used normally.

[0062] As can be seen from the results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-4, the surface of the copper pad substrate is activated using the chemical nickel plating palladium ion activation solution provided by the present invention. Within a certain pH range, by adding a certain amount of copper corrosion inhibitor in the activation solution and adding a cosolvent to prevent palladium ions from coordinating and precipitating with the copper corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion of the copper substrate can be effectively suppressed, thereby avoiding the copper pad from being corroded and causing circuit short circuits, poor contact and poor heat dissipation and other safety risks, as well as functional problems such as loss of storage information and interference with logical functions. The best copper corrosion inhibitor and cosolvent combination is aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid and N, N-dimethylformamide. In addition, the addition of a certain amount of stabilizer can effectively maintain the stability of the activation solution and extend its service life. Compared with the inorganic iodide stabilizers such as potassium iodide commonly used at present, the stabilizing effect of organic iodides such as methyl iodide used in the present invention is better, and the activation solution effect can reach more than 160 days. Secondly, the addition of a certain amount of wetting agent can make the palladium ions in the activation solution evenly dispersed, effectively preventing defects such as leakage plating and permeation plating from chemical nickel plating of copper pads. The above advantages expand the application of the activation solution in the field of copper-based chemical nickel plating. In addition, if the copper corrosion inhibitor is not added, the copper substrate will react with the activation solution and cause serious corrosion. If the stabilizer is not added, the activation solution will be unstable, which will affect the chemical nickel plating and cause nickel plating to leak. If only the copper corrosion inhibitor is added without the co-solvent, the stability of the activation solution will be affected, thereby affecting its copper corrosion inhibition performance and activation performance, resulting in leakage plating of chemical nickel plating.

[0063] The above embodiments are only preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be the technical solutions recorded in the claims, including equivalent replacement solutions of the technical features in the technical solutions recorded in the claims. That is, equivalent replacement improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
