Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electronic manufacturing and micro-nano 3D printing, and specifically relates to a method and system for manufacturing a conformal embedded circuit on a micro 3D printed curved surface driven by a charge injection electric field. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In the context of the rapid development of science and technology today, the development of complex three-dimensional curved surface conformal circuits is becoming increasingly urgent, and its applications cover many fields such as national defense and military, aerospace, structural health monitoring, intelligent structures, wearable devices, and flexible electronics. The requirements for circuits in these fields are not limited to traditional functional requirements, but also require circuits to have high stability and durability, and to be able to work stably and reliably for a long time under large loads and long-term service environments. Especially for extremely harsh and harsh service environments, higher and higher requirements are put forward for 3D curved surface conformal circuits, such as hypersonic missiles (radome FSS, conformal antennas, etc.), and higher and higher requirements are put forward for the adhesion between conformal circuits and substrates (interface bonding strength greater than 20MPa). The existing surface relief curved surface conformal circuits (circuits attached to the curved substrate / substrate surface) can no longer meet the requirements of super strong adhesion and high electrical performance. Embedded curved surface conformal circuits (embedded conformal circuits into the substrate structure) provide an ideal solution. However, the existing various 3D circuits and curved surface conformal circuit manufacturing technologies are completely unable to realize the manufacture of non-developable complex curved surface embedded micro-conformal circuits.

[0004] Current embedded circuit manufacturing technologies include composite processes of photolithography and nanoimprinting combined with electroplating, composite processes of laser etching combined with sputtering, gravure printing, and processes for directly printing circuits on liquid film substrates. Among them, the micro-nano grooves obtained after photolithography and nanoimprinting need to be filled with conductive materials into the grooves through a scraping and filling process to form a seed layer, and then combined with electroplating to achieve complete filling of the micro-nano grooves with conductive materials. However, on the one hand, photolithography and traditional nanoimprinting cannot achieve patterning of non-developable complex curved surfaces; on the other hand, for complex curved surfaces and non-developable curved surface structures, the scraping and filling process cannot achieve stable and uniform filling on the curved micro-nano groove structure, and it is even difficult to completely fill (for example, for nano grooves with a large aspect ratio, it is impossible to achieve complete filling). The method of combining laser etching with sputtering still has difficulties in manufacturing structures with a large aspect ratio, and it is difficult to ensure the thickness consistency of the sputtered metal layer on the curved surface. Similar to the scraping and filling process, gravure printing cannot achieve curved conformal circuit manufacturing. Printing circuits directly on liquid film substrates has the advantage of simple process. However, due to the complex 3D structure and the characteristics of non-developable surfaces, the liquid material cannot form a film of uniform thickness on the curved surface due to gravity, which greatly affects the forming effect of the common circuit on the curved surface.

[0005] Therefore, the existing surface conformal or embedded circuit manufacturing technology cannot meet the manufacturing requirements of formed surface conformal embedded circuits, especially large aspect ratio surface conformal embedded circuits. It is urgent to develop new solutions to achieve efficient and low-cost manufacturing of high-precision surface conformal embedded circuits. Summary of the invention

[0047] (3) Conductive treatment: The conductive ink filled into the micro-nano grooves of the substrate is sintered.

[0048] (4) Evaluation of filling effect: Determine whether the conductive layer (embedded circuit) after filling meets the requirements. If not, repeat steps (2)-(3) to fill the micro-nano groove multiple times; if it meets the requirements, proceed to step (5).

[0049] (5) Flattening: Use post-processing techniques such as polishing to polish away excess conductive material outside the micro-nano grooves of the substrate to complete the manufacturing of curved surface conformal embedded circuits.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] A method for manufacturing a conformal circuit embedded in a micro 3D printed surface based on charge injection electrowetting and electric field driven micro 3D printing, the specific implementation method is as follows Figure 2 The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.

[0058] In this embodiment, a hemispherical ceramic substrate with a radius of 30 mm is selected, a serpentine wire grid structure is selected for the conductive circuit, an area of ​​30×30 mm, a period of 1 mm, a nano-groove width of 300 nm, and a groove depth of 600 nm (aspect ratio of 2:1), and a filling material is selected from nano-silver ink (viscosity of 100 cps). The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0059] Step 1: Nanogroove manufacturing and surface treatment. First, laser etching technology is used to manufacture a nanogroove structure with a width of 300nm and a depth of 600nm on the curved surface according to a pre-set printing program. Then, the nanogroove surface is roughened by combining the electric field-assisted fluid / laser multi-module three-dimensional surface graphics printing equipment. Using a roughening laser, the ceramic substrate groove is laser roughened according to the planned circuit pattern printing path, so that the nanogroove surface appears uneven. Afterwards, the surface of the groove is hydrophilicized by plasma to reduce the contact angle between the ink and the substrate surface during printing.

[0060] Step 2: Nanogroove filling. Using nanosilver ink as the printing material, adjust the printing equipment, move the print head to the marking point of the substrate, set the printing parameters (printing height 0.1mm, printing voltage 1500V, printing air pressure 50kPa, workbench moving speed 40mm / s), load the printing path, and fill the nanosilver ink into the substrate groove with a width of 300nm under the combined action of charge injection electrowetting effect and electrocapillary force.

[0061] Specifically, the print head is a metal print head coaxially nested with a needle electrode, the inner diameter of the metal print head is 0.2 mm, the diameter of the needle electrode is 0.1 mm, the diameter of the needle electrode tip is less than 0.1 μm, and both the metal print head and the needle electrode are externally connected to a high-voltage power supply. The metal print head printing voltage is 1000V, and the needle electrode printing voltage is 1500V.

[0062] Step 3: Conductive treatment: After printing, the workpiece is placed in a vacuum drying oven at 100°C and cured and sintered for 1 hour to fully evaporate the solvent in the nanosilver ink and leave highly conductive silver particles in the nanogrooves.

[0063] Step 4: Determine whether the filled nanosilver conductive layer meets the design requirements. If not, repeat steps (2)-(3) to fill the nanogrooves multiple times. If it meets the requirements, proceed to step (5).

[0064] Step 5: Flattening: Use post-processing techniques such as polishing to polish away excess silver nanoparticles outside the substrate nanogrooves, completing the manufacturing of the curved surface conformal embedded circuit.

[0065] In some embodiments, the roughening treatment in step 1 includes but is not limited to laser surface roughening treatment, electrochemical polishing treatment or acid washing. The hydrophilic treatment includes but is not limited to corona treatment or immersion treatment.

[0066] In some embodiments, the curved nanogroove substrate in step 1 includes but is not limited to a ceramic, glass or resin substrate and a silicone substrate, etc., and the curved surface shape includes but is not limited to a developable curved surface and a non-developable curved surface;

[0070] In other embodiments, laser melting and sintering may be selected in step 3.

[0071] Example 3

[0072] A method for manufacturing a conformal embedded circuit on a micro 3D printed surface based on charge injection electric field driving, the specific implementation method is as follows Figure 2 The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.

[0073] In this embodiment, a non-developable curved resin substrate is selected, and a conductive circuit is selected from a grid structure with an area of ​​30×30 mm, a period of 1 mm, a micron groove width of 10 μm, and a groove depth of 50 μm (aspect ratio of 5:1). The filling material is a conductive copper ink (viscosity of 7000 cps, solid content>80%). Figure 3 As shown, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0074] Step 1: Micro-groove fabrication and surface treatment. First, laser etching technology is used to fabricate a micro-groove structure with a width of 10 μm and a depth of 50 μm on the curved surface according to a pre-set printing program. By adding an appropriate amount of electrolyte to the electrolyte, a redox reaction occurs on the surface of the material, forming an irregular micro-nano structure in the nano-groove of the resin substrate. After that, the workpiece is placed in a hydrophilic solution and soaked for 10 minutes, then taken out and blown dry with nitrogen.

[0076] Specifically, the print head is a metal print head coaxially nested with a needle electrode. Due to the large width of the micro groove, the inner diameter of the metal print head is 0.35mm, the diameter of the needle electrode is 0.2mm, and the tip diameter of the needle electrode is 5μm. The metal print head and the needle electrode are both connected to an external high-voltage power supply. The metal print head printing voltage is 1500V, and the needle electrode printing voltage is 2500V, so that the conductive copper ink can be fully spread in the groove.

[0077] Step 3: Conductive treatment: After printing, the workpiece is placed in a vacuum drying oven at 150°C for 10 minutes of curing and sintering to fully evaporate the solvent in the conductive copper ink and leave a highly conductive copper layer in the groove.

[0078] Step 4: Determine whether the filled conductive copper layer meets the experimental requirements. If not, repeat steps (2)-(3) to fill the groove multiple times. If it meets the experimental requirements, proceed to step (5).

[0079] Step 5: Flattening: Use post-processing techniques such as polishing to polish away the excess conductive copper layer outside the substrate groove to complete the manufacture of the curved surface conformal embedded circuit.
