Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of surface treatment of electrolytic copper foil, and particularly relates to a surface treatment method for improving the heat resistance of electrolytic copper foil for high-speed boards. Background Art
[0002] When high-speed high-frequency alternating current signals are transmitted on the circuits of printed circuit boards, the current distribution inside the copper foil is uneven, and the current is concentrated in the thin layer on the outer surface of the conductor. This phenomenon is called the skin effect. Research shows that the higher the frequency of the transmitted signal, the more obvious the skin effect. Due to the skin effect, high-frequency signals are concentrated on the outer surface of the copper foil, and the effective cross-sectional area for transmission becomes smaller, resulting in an increase in the resistance of the copper foil surface layer and an increase in signal transmission loss. At the same time, due to the increase in the surface resistance of the copper foil, the proportion of high-frequency signals transmitted in the copper foil dissipated in the form of heat increases. In order to reduce the adverse effects of the skin effect on signal transmission, it is required that the copper foil has a low surface roughness. However, when the roughness of the copper foil is reduced, the bonding strength (peel strength) between the copper foil and the substrate also decreases. When the manufactured circuit board is assembled and welded with components of the whole machine, due to the influence of high temperature, the resin is easily cracked to generate small molecule compounds. If it comes into contact with the bare copper surface, it will react to release moisture, and the high-temperature vaporization of the moisture causes bubbling, which will separate the copper foil from the substrate. Therefore, how to produce electrolytic copper foil with low surface roughness and high heat resistance at the same time is an important technical problem to be solved by the present invention.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] The present invention utilizes co - deposition to form a quaternary alloy and form a heat - resistant barrier layer on the surface of a copper foil. Compared with the conventional nickel - plating process, due to the presence of iron, molybdenum, and tungsten in the alloy coating of the present invention, the heat - resistant barrier layer structure on the copper foil surface can be made more dense and have higher heat resistance. The electroplating solution for the heat - resistant layer of the present invention uses sodium citrate as a complexing agent and co - deposits to eutectically form a nickel - iron - tungsten - molybdenum quaternary alloy. Molybdenum in the quaternary alloy has the characteristics of high specific heat and low coefficient of thermal expansion, which can make the heat resistance of the coating much higher than that of other conventional metal coatings. In addition, the addition of molybdenum can also make the coating have high chemical stability and be resistant to oxidation and corrosion. Tungsten is the metal with the highest melting point in nature, and iron can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the coating. The quaternary alloy formed by the eutectic of molybdenum, tungsten, iron and nickel forms a dense barrier layer on the copper foil surface, making the copper foil have higher heat resistance, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. Saccharin in the heat - resistant layer treatment solution, as a nickel - plating brightener, acts synergistically with 1,4 - butynediol to make the coating achieve a smooth and fine - grained effect and increase the uniform coverage of the coating. Sulfuric acid, as a conductive salt, can not only ensure uniform electroplating but also increase the hardness of the coating. In addition, the preparation method of the present invention is simple, environmentally friendly and has low cost. Detailed implementation mode

[0104] Testing
[0105] The electrolytic copper foils obtained in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were used to press high-speed substrates with ULL-level polyphenylene ether system resins, and initial and high-temperature peel strength tests were carried out. The test results are shown in Table 1. Among them, the high-temperature peel strength was measured after dipping in molten tin at 288 °C, and the attenuation rate = (initial peel strength - peel strength after dipping in molten tin) ÷ initial peel strength × 100%.
