Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printed circuit board surface treatment, in particular to an organic solder preservative and a preparation method thereof for forming a protective film on a copper surface. Background Art

[0002] As electronic devices evolve towards lighter weight and higher density, the requirements for printed circuit board (PCB) surface treatment technologies are becoming increasingly stringent. Common surface treatment technologies include lead-free hot air leveling, chemical immersion silver, chemical immersion tin, and organic solder preservative (OSP). Although lead-free hot air leveling processes have improved environmental performance, they can still suffer from poor surface flatness, hindering high-density assembly. Chemical immersion tin technology offers a strong affinity for molten solder, providing excellent wettability during soldering and reducing issues such as cold solder joints and voids. However, the tin layer can spontaneously grow micron-sized whiskers in humid, hot, or stressful environments, creating a risk of short circuits, which is particularly critical for high-density electronic devices. Chemical immersion silver technology, leveraging the excellent conductivity and signal transmission properties of the silver plating layer, significantly reduces contact resistance, making it suitable for high-frequency circuits. However, silver is a precious metal, and the raw material cost is significantly higher than other processes.

[0003] Organic solder preservative (OSP) has played an important role in the field of PCB surface treatment in recent years due to its advantages such as simple process, low cost and little environmental pollution.

[0004] OSP is a chemical process that grows an organic film on a clean, bare copper surface. This film is resistant to oxidation, heat shock, and moisture, protecting the copper surface from further rust (oxidation or sulfide) in normal environments. However, during subsequent high soldering temperatures, this protective film must be easily removed by flux, allowing the exposed, clean copper surface to bond with the molten solder in a very short time, forming a strong solder joint.

[0005] The heat resistance of the current OSP process has been significantly improved through multiple generations of technology iteration, but challenges still exist. The decomposition temperature of traditional OSP film is approximately 250°C, and it can only withstand one or two reflow soldering cycles. If used for multiple soldering cycles (such as double-sided soldering or rework), the protective film will decompose after the first high-temperature soldering, causing oxidation on the copper surface and affecting the reliability of subsequent soldering.

[0006] Since the implementation of the EU's Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directives on July 1, 2006, the global electronics manufacturing industry has fully entered the lead-free era. In lead-free soldering processes, to meet stringent environmental regulations for solder alloys, traditional lead-containing solders have been banned. The melting point of lead-free solders (such as SAC305) has been significantly increased, forcing peak reflow soldering temperatures to generally exceed 260°C and requiring multiple high-temperature soldering cycles. This transformation poses significant challenges to printed circuit board (PCB) surface treatment processes. Conventional organic solderability preservatives (OSP) are susceptible to decomposition and failure under repeated high-temperature thermal shock, leading to copper surface oxidation and reduced solderability. Therefore, the development of new OSP organic solderability preservatives that combine high-temperature resistance, long-lasting antioxidant properties, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness has become a key technological breakthrough for achieving high-reliability electronics manufacturing. Summary of the Invention

The pH value of the organic solder paste is 3.0±0.2.

[0010] Furthermore, the pH regulator is aqueous ammonia, and the mass ratio of the 2-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)benzimidazole to acetic acid is 1:8-1:12.

[0011] Furthermore, the preparation method includes the following steps: mixing 2-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)benzimidazole and acetic acid and stirring for 30 minutes; adding n-heptanoic acid, citric acid-modified nanocerium oxide, zinc acetate and copper sulfate in sequence; adding deionized water to a total liquid volume of 250 mL; adding ammonia water to adjust the pH to 3.0±0.2; heating to a constant temperature of 45±2°C and storing.

[0012] A preparation method for forming a protective film on the copper surface is characterized by being processed with the above-mentioned organic solder preservative.

[0013] Furthermore, the preparation method of the copper surface protective film comprises the following steps:

[0014] a. Degreasing treatment: The circuit board is treated in a 3-10wt% sodium hydroxide solution at 30°C for 2-5 minutes;

[0015] b. Pickling treatment: in 3-10wt% sulfuric acid solution at 30°C for 2-5 minutes;

[0016] c. Microetching: in a solution containing 10-20wt% sodium persulfate and 3-10vol% sulfuric acid at 30°C for 1-5 minutes;

[0017] d. Pickling treatment: treatment in 1-5 vol% sulfuric acid solution for 1-5 minutes;

[0018] e. Film forming treatment: immersing in the organic solderability agent according to any one of claims 1 to 4 at 45°C for 1 to 5 minutes to obtain an organic copper coordination polymer film.

[0019] Furthermore, the concentration ratio of sodium persulfate to sulfuric acid in the micro-etching treatment is 3:1-5:1, and the micro-etching thickness is controlled at 1.0-1.5 μm; the immersion time in the film-forming treatment is 90±30 seconds, and the thickness of the formed film layer is 0.25-0.35 μm. The copper surface roughness Ra after the micro-etching treatment is ≤0.15 μm, and the contact angle is ≤80°.

[0020] Furthermore, the molar ratio of copper to zinc in the organic copper coordination polymer film layer is 3:1-5:1, and the sulfur content is ≤0.5wt%.

[0021] Furthermore, after the organic copper coordination polymer film is subjected to three thermal cycle treatments at 288° C., the copper surface oxidation discoloration level is ≤ level I, and the solder joint shear strength is ≥12 MPa.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an organic solder preservative and a method for preparing the same to form a protective film on the copper surface, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention selects imidazole compounds as the main film-forming substances of the organic solderability protective agent, which significantly improves the heat resistance of the organic solderability protective film layer of the printed circuit board formed subsequently. It can still remain stable after multiple reflow soldering processes, and can meet the high temperature conditions required for lead-free soldering, thereby reducing pollution to the environment and meeting the needs of the PCB surface treatment production process. In addition, the OSP solution used is very stable and can form an effective film layer on the PCB surface to prevent copper from being oxidized and maintain good solderability under lead-free reflow temperature soldering conditions. Among them, the organic acid can promote the solubility of the imidazole organic matter and the aqueous solution, promote the formation of the subsequent coordination protective film, and help maintain the long-term stability of the OSP treatment solution; while the long-chain acid promotes the formation of the OSP film.

[0024] 2. 2-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)benzimidazole is used as an imidazole compound. The imidazole compound contains a chlorophenyl group, which greatly improves the heat resistance of the OSP treatment solution. A preparation method for forming a protective film on the bare copper surface to be soldered on a printed circuit board is provided. The method is characterized in that the film layer formed by the process has a thin and dense structural characteristic with uniform thickness, and has excellent multiple solderability, oxidation resistance and heat resistance. In addition, the present invention uses a sulfuric acid / sodium persulfate system micro-etching solution for micro-etching, and the micro-etching rate is stable and controllable, with a micro-etching thickness of 1.0-1.5 μm. This solves the problem that the use of a sulfuric acid / hydrogen peroxide system micro-etching solution is very sensitive to chloride ion concentration. When the chloride ion reaches 10 mg / L, the micro-etching rate of the micro-etching system will remain unchanged at a very low value, and the micro-etching rate and micro-etching thickness are difficult to control.

[0025] 3. The oxygen vacancies of nano CeO2 involved in this application capture the active oxygen free radicals generated by the copper surface, thereby inhibiting the high-temperature oxidation of the copper surface. The carboxyl group (-COOH) of citric acid forms a hydrogen bond with the nitrogen atom of benzimidazole, thereby enhancing the cross-linking density of the film layer. 4+ Oxidation of trace Cu + →Cu 2+ , maintain the stability of the copper ion valence and avoid the formation of sulfide (Cu2S). The uniformly dispersed nanoparticles fill the defects of the zinc-copper coordination network through physical filling, improving the uniformity of film thickness and film density, reducing the risk of high-temperature exposure and oxidation of the copper surface, and ensuring direct bonding between copper and solder during welding. 4+ Cu +The oxidation process is inhibited from the source, and the generation of sulfides is inhibited, avoiding the embrittlement of the solder joint; more importantly, the dense and uniform film layer effectively protects the underlying copper substrate, and the surface roughness and hydrophilicity formed by micro-etching are maintained stable during the storage or pre-welding stage, providing an ideal / controlled interface state for welding. The citric acid modified nanometer cerium oxide solves the oxidation failure problem of traditional OSP film in lead-free high-temperature welding through the triple mechanism of physical filling, chemical bonding and redox control, and significantly improves the heat resistance, oxidation resistance and solder joint reliability of the film layer.
