Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of circuit board stripping technology, in particular to a stripping solution for dry film after plasma treatment and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of electronic products towards high density, high performance and miniaturization, the line precision requirements of printed circuit boards (PCB) are increasingly improved. The modified semi-additive process (mSAP) has become the mainstream process of high-end PCB manufacturing (such as IC carrier board) because it can manufacture ultra-fine lines with line width / line spacing below 30 μm. The general process flow includes pre-treatment before lamination, lamination, exposure, development, electroplating, stripping and flash etching.

[0003] However, in the exposure and development process, due to the certain thickness of the photosensitive film, the light will also be scattered to a certain extent when the dry film is exposed, which will result in a transition area at the edge of the line pattern. The photosensitive film in the transition area receives a certain amount of light energy, but the solidification is not complete. A part of the photosensitive film will be left on the bottom of the line during development. The existence of the photosensitive film edge will affect the uniformity of the subsequent electroplating process and the line formation precision, resulting in line defects or performance fluctuations. To address this challenge, some manufacturers have introduced plasma treatment technology. For example, the invention patent CN 103391686 B discloses a circuit board processing method, which uses O2, N2 or Ar plasma to effectively remove the development residual edge through physical bombardment and chemical reaction mechanisms, which can significantly improve the processing precision of the line pattern.

[0004] The main mechanisms of removing the edge by using plasma treatment (gas such as O2, N2, Ar) include:

[0005] (1) Physical bombardment

[0006] High-energy ions (such as Ar+) impact the dry film surface, which strips the residual material through momentum transfer, similar to microscopic sandblasting;

[0007] (2) Chemical reaction

[0008] Active free radicals (such as O . ) react with dry film organic matter (C, H compounds) to generate volatile products (CO2, H2O, etc.), and the reaction process is shown as follows:

[0009]

[0010] However, the plasma treatment not only removes the burrs, but also further crosslinks the cured dry film due to the high temperature and active free radicals inside the plasma, resulting in a more compact structure and a decrease in surface wettability. This problem is particularly prominent in the mSAP process, as the dry film layer is often sandwiched between fine lines, forming a so-called "sandwich film" structure, making it difficult for conventional stripping agents to effectively penetrate and completely remove the dry film.

[0011] There are many existing technologies for conventional process line board stripping agents. For example, Chinese patent CN101957565A discloses an organic stripping agent that can quickly strip the "sandwich film" dry film through the synergistic effect of organic base, chloride salt, and sorbitol. Chinese patent CN113913187A discloses a stripping agent and its preparation method and use method, which combines benzyl alcohol, diethanolamine, sodium sulfate, ethanolamine, pH adjuster, and ethyl imidazole in a specific ratio to increase the stripping speed by 30% compared to traditional inorganic alkali stripping agents. Chinese patent CN113150878A discloses an IC carrier plate film remover and its application, which is composed of two components A and B and water. Component A includes organic base, inorganic base, and penetrating agent (dimethylamine and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether), and component B includes wetting dispersant (polyoxypropylene glycerol ether, dimethyl phosphoric acid aminomethyl sulfonic acid, and sodium sulfonate mixture), surfactant (N-lauroyl sarcosine, etc.). By compounding components A and B, the film layer can be completely removed without curling and sticking.

[0012] However, these stripping agents still have unsatisfactory stripping effects on high-crosslinking dry films after plasma treatment, and generally have the problems of incomplete stripping and residue.

[0013] In addition, traditional stripping agents often contain organic corrosion inhibitors, such as mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and benzotriazole (BTA), to prevent copper oxidation. Although these corrosion inhibitors can reduce corrosion by forming a protective film on the copper surface, their residues can hinder the uniformity of subsequent flash etching, leading to local copper residue and incomplete etching. The copper residue problem often requires secondary etching correction, which not only increases process time and cost, but also may reduce the overall etching factor, affecting line width precision and circuit performance stability. SUMMARY

[0014] To solve the problems of difficult complete removal of high-crosslinking dry films after plasma treatment in the mSAP process and the subsequent flash etching process caused by traditional stripping agents, the present application provides a stripping agent for dry films after plasma treatment and a use method thereof.

[0015] The technical solution of the present application is:

[0016] A stripping solution for dry film after plasma processing, characterized in that it comprises the following components in mass percentage: 1-3% inorganic base, 5-20% organic base, 2-6% organic solvent, 3.6-6% composite penetrant, and the balance water.

[0017] The composite penetrant is a combination of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP-95), polyamine-based gemini sulfonate surfactant, and benzimidazole-based gemini surfactant.

[0018] Further, the mass percentage of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol in the composite penetrant is 0.5-1%, the mass percentage of polyamine-based gemini sulfonate surfactant is 2.1-3%, and the mass percentage of benzimidazole-based gemini surfactant is 1-2%.

[0019] More preferably, the mass percentage ratio of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, polyamine-based gemini sulfonate surfactant, and benzimidazole-based gemini surfactant in the composite penetrant is 1:(3.5-4):(1.5-2).

[0020] 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP-95) is a multifunctional organic base additive. The amine group and hydroxyl group in the 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol molecule endow it with excellent polarity and hydrogen bond formation ability. It can quickly penetrate into the deep layer of dry film and the film / copper interface, destroy the intermolecular force of dry film polymer chains, and initiate the rapid swelling of dry film, creating a channel for subsequent chemical decomposition. At the same time, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol can also enhance the dispersion ability of the stripping solution system for organic debris, helping to improve the solution's carrying capacity of pollutants and prolong the service life of the solution.

[0021] Further, the polyamine-based gemini sulfonate surfactant is GAS, and its structural formula is as shown in formula (I):

[0022] Formula (I) is ;

[0023] The preparation method of the GAS is a prior art, which comprises the following steps:

[0024] 1. Preparation of intermediates

[0025] 12.77 g of N-tallow triamine and 75 ml of isopropanol were added to a three-necked flask equipped with a condenser. After stirring until the raw materials dissolved, 7.587 g of sodium 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropanesulfonate was dissolved in water to prepare a 25% aqueous solution, which was then slowly added dropwise to the N-tallow triamine alcohol solution. After the addition was complete, the temperature was raised to 60 °C and the reaction was maintained at this temperature for 8 hours. Simultaneously, the pH of the system was adjusted to approximately 10 using NaOH solution. After the reaction was completed, isopropanol, water, and residual tallow triamine were removed by vacuum distillation. The resulting pale yellow viscous substance was the intermediate.

[0026] 2. Preparation of GAS, a polyamine-containing gemini sulfonate surfactant.

[0027] Weigh 10.86 g of the intermediate and 40 mL of water into a three-necked flask, stir at 60 °C until homogeneous, and add...

[0028] 10 mL of 2 mol / L NaOH solution was added. The temperature was raised to 80℃, and 40 mL of an alcohol solution containing 1.785 g (0.0095 mol) dibromoethane was slowly added dropwise (approximately 0.5 h). The reaction was continued for 48 h. After the reaction was completed, the ethanol-water mixture and unreacted dibromoethane were removed by rotary evaporation. Then, 50 mL of ethanol was added and dissolved while hot. The unreacted NaOH was filtered off, and the ethanol was removed by distillation. The product was recrystallized three times with methanol-chloroform to obtain a pale yellow paste-like gemini surfactant, GAS. The main reaction formula is shown below:

[0029]

[0030] The GAS synthesized in this invention possesses a combination of amphiphilic head groups, bihydrophobic chains, and a polyamine-bridged structure. Its unique molecular structure enables synergistic effects and stability that are difficult to achieve with traditional surfactants. Its bihydrophobic chains provide stronger hydrophobic interactions, allowing for tighter adsorption at the interface between the dry film and the stripping solution, thereby enhancing the penetration, wetting, and stripping effects of the stripping solution system. Furthermore, the GAS backbone contains multiple amine groups, which synergistically interact with other components in the stripping solution to promote the hydrolysis, swelling, and dissolution of the dry film. The sulfonic acid groups in GAS are strongly hydrophilic groups, ensuring the stability and solubility of GAS in strongly alkaline aqueous solutions.

[0031] In addition, GAS can effectively capture, encapsulate, and stably suspend the stripped dry film fragments, preventing them from sticking to the copper surface, thereby ensuring the stripping speed and uniformity, and ultimately guaranteeing the quality of the circuit board.

[0032] Furthermore, the benzimidazole-containing gemini surfactant is BG, and its structural formula is shown in formula (II):

[0033] Equation (II) is ;

[0034] The preparation method of the BG refers to Chinese patent CN 120058617 A, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0035] In 50 g of DMSO, equimolar proportions of o-phenylenediamine 10.8 g (0.1 mol) and cinnamaldehyde 13.2 g (0.1 mol) were mixed, 0.1 g of boric acid was used as a catalyst, and the temperature was raised to 55°C for 5 h, then the solid product was precipitated in an ice water bath to obtain styryl benzimidazole. Take 22 g (0.1 mol) of styryl benzimidazole, dropwise add 5 g (0.05 mol) of methyl dioxolane, and fully mix and stir with 0.12 g of KOH catalyst at room temperature, first raise the temperature to 50°C for 2 h, then raise the temperature to 75°C for 3.5 h to obtain an intermediate product containing compound III. Dilute gaseous SO3 to 10% by volume to obtain a mixed gas, and pass the mixed gas into the intermediate product containing compound III according to a molar ratio of SO3 to compound III of 2:1, control the temperature at 45°C for 3 hours, and sulfonate the benzimidazolyl diol intermediate synthesized in the previous step to obtain an intermediate product containing compound II. After the reaction is completed, adjust the pH of the intermediate product containing compound II to neutral with 25% ammonia water, dry the product, and recrystallize it from acetone to obtain benzimidazolyl gemini surfactant BG, and the main reaction formula is as follows:

[0036]

[0037] The benzimidazolyl gemini surfactant BG of the present application forms a symmetrical gemini structure through styryl, benzimidazole and sulfonic acid groups, realizing multiple functional synergies, which are specifically manifested as follows: two hydrophilic head groups and hydrophobic groups significantly reduce the surface tension of the stripping solution, enabling the stripping solution system to quickly spread and infiltrate on the surface of the high-crosslinking dry film, and improving the infiltration efficiency on the high-crosslinking density dry film; at the same time, the benzimidazole groups can be coordinated with the copper surface through nitrogen atoms, enabling them to form a dense protective film on the copper surface to prevent copper surface oxidation or discoloration, and due to the two hydrophilic head groups (sulfonic acid groups) of BG, it has good water solubility, so it can be completely removed by water washing after stripping, which avoids the residual copper problem caused by the residual of traditional corrosion inhibitors (such as MBT) after flash corrosion.

[0038] Further, the organic base includes at least one of tetramethylguanidine and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU).

[0039] Further, the inorganic base includes at least one of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.

[0040] The inorganic base in the film stripping solution of the present application is mainly to provide a stable alkaline environment for other components, so that each component is more stable in the film stripping solution, which can slow down the decay rate of each component and prolong the service life of the film stripping solution; on the other hand, it can avoid uneven film stripping or residue caused by pH fluctuation, and the pH of the film stripping solution of the present application is 12-13. The organic base tetramethylguanidine and DBU also have strong alkalinity, can quickly saponify and neutralize the ester group and carboxyl group on the molecular chain of the dry film, quickly destroy the molecular chain, and make the dry film quickly crack.

[0041] Further, the organic solvent includes at least one of N-formylmorpholine, 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolinone, and N,N-dimethylacetoacetamide; these organic solvents are high-performance polar solvents, with weak alkalinity and strong penetration, which can quickly penetrate the molecular chain of the dry film, assist the above-mentioned organic base to break the molecular chain of the dry film, and at the same time, the solvent effect effectively dissolves and disperses the reaction product.

[0042] The present application also provides a use method of the film stripping solution suitable for the dry film after plasma treatment, characterized in that the substrate to be stripped is soaked in the film stripping solution provided by the present application, the soaking temperature is 50-65 DEG C, and the soaking time is 1-5 min, so that the high-crosslinking dry film after plasma treatment can be effectively removed.

[0043] The present application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0044] Although the plasma treatment improves the line precision, it also increases the crosslinking density of the dry film and makes the structure more compact, and the wettability of the dry film surface is reduced. To solve this technical problem, the present application provides a film stripping solution suitable for the dry film after plasma treatment, in which the inorganic base mainly provides a stable alkaline environment for the system, so that other components can stably and efficiently play a role; the organic base accelerates the breaking of the molecular chain of the dry film under the synergistic action of the organic solvent, so that the dry film is quickly cracked; the composite penetrant strengthens the penetration and wetting effect of the film stripping solution system, so that the film stripping solution can quickly spread and infiltrate on the surface of the dry film, and the 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP-95) and GAS in the composite penetrant further accelerate the film breaking speed under the synergistic action of the organic base, so that the dry film after plasma treatment can be efficiently removed.

[0045] In addition, the BG containing a double benzimidazole group in the present application can be coordinated with the copper surface through the nitrogen atom, so that it can form a dense protective film on the copper surface to prevent the copper surface from being oxidized, and due to the good water solubility of the BG, it can be completely removed by water washing after film stripping, which solves the problem of residual copper after flash etching caused by the difficulty in removing the film layer formed by the traditional corrosion inhibitor and the copper surface.

[0058] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present application, and can be implemented according to the content of the specification, the following specific embodiments of the present application are further described in detail, the following examples are used to illustrate the present application, but not to limit the scope of the present application.

[0059] In the following examples and comparative examples, the preparation method of the stripping solution includes the following steps: mixing the corresponding component raw materials in water.

[0060] The present application provides a stripping solution for dry film after plasma treatment, which comprises the following components by mass percentage: 1-3% inorganic alkali, 5-20% organic alkali, 2-6% organic solvent, 3.6-6% composite penetrant and the balance of water; the composite penetrant is a combination of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP-95), polyamine-containing gemini sulfonate surfactant and benzimidazole-containing gemini surfactant, and the pH of the stripping solution system of the present application is 12-13.

[0071]

[0072] The stripping solutions of Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-16 were subjected to stripping tests, and the stripping test of the present application included:

[0073] (1) Preparation of a sample plate

[0074] The sample plate M1-P, the sample plate M2-P and the sample plate M3 used in the stripping test of the present application are all IC carrier plates, with the same bottom copper, electroplated copper and film thickness, and all cut to a size of 2 cm x 2 cm, wherein:

[0075] The sample plate M1-P has a line width / line spacing size of 14 μm / 14 μm, is prepared by the mSAP process and contains plasma treatment, and the process flow is: pre-film pressing treatment- film pressing- exposure- development- plasma treatment- electroplating;

[0076] The sample plate M2-P has a line width / line spacing size of 36 μm / 36 μm, and the process flow for its preparation is the same as that of the sample plate M1-P, containing plasma treatment;

[0077] The sample plate M3 has a line width / line spacing size of 14 μm / 14 μm, is prepared by the mSAP process and does not contain plasma treatment, and the process flow is: pre-film pressing treatment- film pressing- exposure- development- electroplating;

[0078] This design aims to compare and investigate the removal ability of the stripping solution for different fine lines and dry films with and without plasma treatment.

[0079] (2) Stripping test

[0080] The stripping test of the present application all adopts the immersion method, and the stripping solution is prepared in a beaker according to the formula ratio of each example and comparative example. The beaker is placed in a 55℃ constant temperature water bath to maintain a constant reaction temperature; the sample plate to be tested is placed in the beaker and soaked, and the test sample plate is taken out when the film layer is completely removed or the soaking time reaches 300 s, washed with pure water and dried.

[0081] Effect evaluation: observe and record the film stripping of each sample, including: film clamping, film stripping time and copper surface color after film stripping (used to preliminarily judge whether there is oxidation or corrosion).

[0082] (3) Residual copper detection

[0083] The effect of the film stripping solution on the subsequent flash etching process was not evaluated, and the sample plates after the film stripping solution film stripping treatment of the corresponding examples and comparative examples were subjected to flash etching process and residual copper inspection:

[0084] Flash etching process: the sample plates after film stripping and pure water washing were subjected to subsequent flash etching according to the mSAP process flow. Among them, the etching solution used in the flash etching process was: BTH-5600 (provided by Kunshan Banming Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.), and the flash etching time was 2 min;

[0085] Residual copper inspection: after the completion of the flash etching, whether there is a local copper layer that has not been etched off (i.e., residual copper) on the substrate after the flash etching of the sample plate was checked.

[0086] The film stripping test results of examples 1-9 are shown in Table 4, the film stripping test results of comparative examples 1-13 are shown in Table 5, and the film stripping test results of comparative examples 14-16 are shown in Table 6;

[0087] Table 4. Film stripping test results of examples 1-9

[0088]

[0089] Table 5. Film stripping test results of comparative examples 1-13

[0090]

[0091] Table 6. Film stripping test results of comparative examples 14-16

[0092]

[0093] As can be seen from Table 4, the film stripping solution provided by the application has good film stripping effect on the sample plate M3 without plasma treatment, and also has good film stripping effect on the sample plate M1-P and sample plate M2-P after plasma treatment. Especially for the high-precision circuit sample plate M1-P, the film stripping solution provided by the application can realize the dissolution and shedding of the dry film in a relatively short time (in 76-92s), without any film clamping phenomenon; at the same time, the film stripping solution does not react with the copper surface, showing good corrosion inhibition effect, which can effectively protect the integrity of the circuit board. For the sample plate M2-P with relatively wide circuit, the film stripping time is further shortened to 79-84s.

[0094] In contrast, the stripping solution of Comparative Example 1-13 cannot play a synergistic effect due to improper or missing content ratio of a certain component, and it has different degrees of functional defects in the stripping test results of the sample M1-P, the sample M2-P and the sample M3, such as film clamping, copper surface corrosion or significantly prolonged stripping time.

[0095] The reason is that after plasma treatment, the crosslinking density of the dry film increases, the structure is more compact, and the surface wettability decreases. In the stripping solution system of the present application, the organic base (tetramethyl guanidine, DBU) in the organic solvent (such as N-formyl morpholine, etc.) can effectively and quickly destroy the molecular chain of the dry film and accelerate its cracking; further, AMP-95 in the composite penetrant is a multifunctional organic base additive that can quickly penetrate into the deep layer of the dry film and the film / copper interface, destroy the interchain force of the dry film polymer, and initiate the dry film to swell rapidly, creating a channel for subsequent chemical decomposition; the polyamine-based gemini sulfonate surfactant GAS and the benzimidazole-based gemini surfactant BG both have a special structure with two hydrophilic head groups and two hydrophobic chains, and their synergistic effect can achieve the synergistic effect and stability that traditional surfactants cannot achieve. On the one hand, GAS and BG together strengthen the penetration and wetting effect of the stripping solution system, so that the stripping solution can quickly spread and wet on the surface of the dry film, improving the wetting efficiency of the dry film with high crosslinking density; on the other hand, GAS has multiple amine groups in its main chain, which synergistically act with other components in the stripping solution to promote the hydrolysis, swelling and dissolution of the dry film, and GAS can effectively capture, wrap and stabilize the dry film fragments that have peeled off, ensuring that the dry film fragments do not stick to the copper surface, thereby ensuring the stripping speed and uniformity, and ultimately ensuring the quality of the circuit board; the BG with double benzimidazole groups can form a dense protective film on the copper surface through coordination with the copper surface, preventing the copper surface from oxidizing, and its good water solubility allows it to be completely removed by water washing after stripping, avoiding the problem of residual copper caused by the residue of traditional corrosion inhibitors.

[0096] Comparative Examples 14-16 are prior art, which can effectively remove the dry film on the sample M3 that has not been treated by plasma, but for the sample M1-P and the sample M2-P treated by plasma, even if soaked for 300s, it still cannot achieve complete film removal.

[0097] In view of the problems of incomplete stripping, film clamping, copper surface corrosion or too long time in the above stripping test of Comparative Examples 1-13, and the inability of Comparative Examples 14-16 to handle the plasma-treated samples, these comparative examples do not have practical application value, so no subsequent residual copper test evaluation is performed.

[0098] The samples treated by Examples 1-9 and the sample M3 treated by Comparative Examples 14-16 were further subjected to a subsequent flash etching process to detect whether the stripping solution of each relevant example and comparative example caused residual copper phenomenon. Each sample after flash etching was subjected to microscopic observation (100 times), and the residual copper detection results are shown in Tables 7 and 8. To avoid redundancy, the present application takes the microscopic magnification pictures of sample M1-P, sample M2-P and sample M3 after flash etching corresponding to Example 2, and the microscopic magnification pictures of sample M3 after flash etching corresponding to Comparative Examples 14-16 as example pictures, which are shown in Figures 6 to 11 .

[0099] Table 7. Residual copper detection results of Examples 1-9

[0100]

[0101] Table 8. Residual copper detection results of Comparative Examples 14-16

[0102]

[0103] Figures 6 to 11 In the above-mentioned microscopic pictures, the brass-colored part is the copper-plated surface 100, and the dark-colored part is the substrate surface 200 after flash etching. As can be seen from the microscopic pictures of Tables 7-8 and Figures 6 to 8 , the samples M1-P, sample M2-P and sample M3 treated by the stripping solution of Examples 1-9 did not appear residual copper phenomenon after completing the stripping process and the subsequent flash etching process. As can be observed from Figures 6 to 8 , the substrate surface 200 is uniform in color and does not have any copper-colored doped or residual copper layer.

[0104] In contrast, although the stripping solution of Comparative Examples 14-16 avoided copper surface corrosion during the stripping process by relying on traditional corrosion inhibitors, the residual corrosion inhibitors caused significant residual copper problems. As can be seen from the substrate surface 200 of Figures 9 to 11 , the substrate surface 200 of each sample M3 appeared different degrees of residual copper bright surface 300, which were the residual copper layer that was not etched off after flash etching. The reason is that:

[0105] The traditional corrosion inhibitors containing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds and sulfur-containing compounds have relatively single function, which mainly prevent corrosion by forming a strongly adsorbed protective film on the copper surface. However, such protective film is often dense and difficult to be completely removed by conventional water washing, and the residues will hinder the full contact between the subsequent flash etching solution and the copper layer, resulting in uneven etching and forming residual copper.

[0106] The benzimidazolyl gemini surfactant adopted in the application can be coordinated with the copper surface through nitrogen atom to form an effective protective film to prevent copper surface from being oxidized in the film stripping process; meanwhile, the unique gemini structure (double hydrophilic head group and double hydrophobic chain) endows the gemini surfactant with excellent water solubility, which enables the gemini surfactant to be completely removed through conventional water washing after film stripping, thus avoiding the problem of uneven flash corrosion caused by inhibitor residue and fundamentally eliminating the hidden danger of residual copper.

[0107] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as within the protection scope of the present application.
