Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of new materials technology, and more specifically, relates to a class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compounds, their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Metallization of dielectric substrates is a core process in modern electronics, widely used in microelectronic devices, integrated circuits, flexible displays, and biomedical implants. Among flexible electronic substrate materials, polyimide (PI) is the preferred material due to its excellent mechanical strength (tensile strength 100-300 MPa), outstanding flexibility (bending radius <1 mm), excellent thermal cycling dimensional stability (CTE typically 20-40 ppm / K), and superior chemical stability. However, the high chemical inertness of polyimide surfaces makes direct surface metallization extremely difficult, which is a key bottleneck limiting its application in high-end flexible electronics.

[0003] Vacuum physical vapor deposition (PVD) is one of the mainstream metallization technologies. This technology typically requires a high-temperature environment above 300°C. Due to the low surface energy and strong chemical inertness of polyimide, the interfacial bonding strength between the metal layer and polyimide is generally insufficient (usually below 3B grade). During thermal cycling and mechanical bending, delamination is prone to occur, severely affecting the reliability and lifespan of flexible electronic devices. Traditional chemical metallization processes use a two-step activation method of stannous chloride / palladium chloride. However, since the polyimide surface cannot provide sufficient nucleation sites, surface pretreatment is necessary. These pretreatment methods typically include strong alkali treatment, plasma treatment, or laser / chemical roughening.

[0004] Strong alkali treatment uses strong bases such as KOH or NaOH to hydrolyze the polyimide surface, destroying the imide ring structure and introducing carboxyl and amide groups to enhance surface hydrophilicity. However, this method leads to partial breakage of the polyimide molecular chains, significantly reducing the material's mechanical strength. Plasma treatment uses oxygen, nitrogen, or argon plasma to bombard the polyimide surface, introducing polar groups or creating nanoscale roughness. However, the surface activation effect is not lasting, and the equipment is expensive and energy-intensive. Laser or chemical roughening treatments provide mechanical interlocking points by increasing surface roughness; however, the surface morphology control precision is low, easily leading to over-roughening and irreversible structural damage to the polyimide substrate.

[0005] Existing technologies typically require 5-8 processing steps, including surface pretreatment, sensitization, activation, electroless plating, and electroplating, which are not only complex but also costly. Furthermore, the minimum linewidth of traditional processes is generally greater than 50 μm, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-density integrated circuits for micro-wires (<20 μm). Although researchers have attempted novel methods such as electron beam direct writing and photo-reduction of metals, these technologies have not yet simultaneously solved key problems such as insufficient metal-polymer interface bonding strength, protection of the intrinsic properties of polyimide substrates, simplification of process steps, and high-precision metal patterning. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this application is to provide a class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compounds, their preparation methods, and applications. The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compounds of this invention can achieve intrinsic metallization of polyimide films through molecular design strategies without compromising the intrinsic properties of polyimide. This solves key technical problems in existing polyimide film surface metallization technologies, such as insufficient interfacial bonding strength, complex processes, and limited precision, thereby meeting the urgent need for high-density, high-reliability metal interconnects in next-generation flexible electronic devices.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides a class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compounds, the general structural formula of which is shown in formula (1):

[0008] Equation (1) Wherein, A is a nitrogen-containing heterocycle, selected from one of the following structures, and the "*" indicates a connection point:

[0009] B is a group containing an amino group, selected from one of the following structures, where "*" indicates a connection point: .

[0010] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compound is provided, comprising the following steps: (1) Synthesis of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridinyl indole / azaindole compounds (slash " / " means "or"):

[0013] or

[0014] X1 is H or N, X2 is -NO2, or X3 is -NH2, or D is the reaction solvent, which is one or both of ethanol and DMAC, and E is the reducing agent.

[0015] According to another aspect of the invention, an application of the aforementioned nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compound is provided for the preparation of polyimide films; or for metallizing the surface of the prepared polyimide film.

[0016] This invention provides a class of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyridyl nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compounds and their preparation method. These compounds are uniquely designed, containing specific coordination active sites, and can be polymerized with various dianhydride monomers to form polyimide films with special functions. The resulting films not only exhibit excellent thermodynamic and optical properties but also possess the unique ability for direct surface metallization without the need for traditional surface pretreatment steps.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages: First, the nitrogen heterocyclic structure in the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compound provides highly efficient coordination active sites, which can achieve the anchoring of metal ions under mild conditions; second, the surface of the polyimide film prepared based on such compounds can be directly metallized without additional surface modification steps, thus avoiding the problem of abrupt changes in surface roughness; finally, this method can simultaneously achieve the metallization of macroscopic patterns and microstructures (linewidth <10μm), and the thickness of the metal layer can be controlled, the metal-substrate interface bonding strength is significantly improved (reaching a level of 4B or higher), and the conductivity is excellent.

[0018] The core innovation of this invention lies in introducing specific nitrogen heterocyclic structural units into the polyimide molecular chain through a molecular design strategy. The nitrogen sites serve as anchoring sites for metal ions, achieving direct metallization of the intrinsic polymer surface. Overall, compared with existing technologies, the technical solutions conceived in this application have the following beneficial effects: (1) Intrinsic thin film metallization: The polyimide thin film formed by the indole / azaindole diamine compound containing the pyridine core structure of the present invention has built-in metal coordination sites, which allows the thin film surface to be directly metal patterned without the need for traditional surface treatment steps such as plasma treatment, chemical etching or roughening, thus fundamentally avoiding the damage to the structure and properties of polyimide caused by these treatments.

[0019] (2) Enhanced interface bonding mechanism: This invention establishes a strong interaction network between polyimide and metal layer through molecular-level coordination anchoring mechanism, which significantly improves the interface bonding strength (reaching or exceeding 4B level) and effectively solves the key technical problem of insufficient metal-polymer interface adhesion in traditional methods.

[0020] (3) Multi-metal compatibility and process flexibility: The palladium anchor positioning point designed in this invention has broad applicability, not only applicable to copper metallization, but also extend to various functional metals such as nickel, gold, and silver, greatly expanding the application range. At the same time, this technology is highly compatible with various patterning strategies, including photolithography, direct writing technology, and mask irradiation, simplifying process steps and increasing operational efficiency, making it suitable for mass production.

[0021] (4) Comprehensive performance optimization and application expansion: This invention not only solves the key challenges of adhesion, process complexity and substrate protection in the metallization process of flexible materials, but also achieves the construction of fine metal patterns (linewidth can reach below 10μm) while retaining the excellent performance of polyimide substrates. This technological breakthrough provides a new approach for the manufacturing of high-performance flexible electronic components, micro-nano devices and integrated systems, and has broad application prospects in cutting-edge fields such as flexible circuits, wearable devices and flexible displays.

The reducing agent in step (3) is any one of palladium on carbon / hydrazine hydrate, palladium on carbon / ammonium formate, or palladium on carbon / formic acid combined reducing agent (here the slash " / " means "and").

[0061] The present invention also provides the application of the aforementioned nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compounds for the preparation of polyimide films; or for metallizing the surface of the prepared polyimide films.

[0062] In some embodiments, the use of the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compound of the present invention in the preparation of polyimide films includes the following steps: (S1) The diamine monomer is first dissolved in a solvent. After the diamine monomer is completely dissolved, the dianhydride monomer is added in multiple portions. The reaction is carried out at room temperature for 15-25 h to obtain a polyamic acid solution. The diamine monomer is the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compound. (S2) The polyamic acid solution obtained in step (1) is dispersed on the substrate surface by spin coating, heated to evaporate the solvent in the polyamic acid solution, and heated further to cause the polyamic acid to undergo a dehydration cyclization reaction to obtain a polyimide film.

[0064] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the diamine monomer, solvent, and dianhydride monomer in step (S1) is 1:(24-70):1.01.

[0065] In some embodiments, step (S2) involves heating the polyamic acid solution to evaporate the solvent at a temperature of 75-85°C, followed by further heating to induce a dehydration and cyclization reaction in the polyamic acid at a temperature of 100-400°C for 2-5 hours.

[0066] This invention constructs a highly efficient coordination active site network within the polyimide molecular chain by introducing specific nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structures. These active sites can form stable coordination bonds with metal ions, enabling direct metallization of the polyimide film surface. This method offers significant process and performance advantages: firstly, it enables the construction of metal patterns ranging from macroscopic to micron-level fine structures, with the metal layer thickness precisely controllable through reaction conditions; secondly, the resulting metal-polyimide interface exhibits significantly enhanced bonding strength while maintaining excellent conductivity. In terms of process, the method is simplified and highly efficient, and highly compatible with various existing patterning techniques, including photolithographic patterning, printing, and direct writing of polyimides. This molecular-level coordination strategy fundamentally solves key challenges in traditional metallization methods, such as poor adhesion, complex processes, and substrate damage, achieving direct construction, selective control, and interface strengthening of metal patterns while fully preserving the superior performance characteristics of the polyimide substrate.

[0067] This invention provides a class of compounds in which nitrogen heterocycles provide active sites for strong coordination, which can be directly used for the preparation and selective metallization of polyimide films. This invention effectively solves the dual challenges of substrate compatibility and processing precision faced by traditional metallization processes in the manufacture of flexible electronic devices, overcoming the limitations of high-temperature processing (>300 ℃) on heat-sensitive substrates and insufficient metal-substrate interface bonding strength (below 3B grade) in existing technologies. Compared with existing surface modification methods, this invention avoids the problem of abrupt changes in surface roughness, breaks through the linewidth limitation (less than 10 μm), and achieves synergistic optimization of controllable metal pattern thickness, strong adhesion, and excellent conductivity. The polyimide films and their metallized products of this invention can be widely used in optoelectronic fields such as flexible sensors, flexible detectors, flexible solar cells, flexible transparent electrodes, microelectronic packaging, aerospace equipment, medical implants, touch systems, and electromagnetic shielding.

The dimensions marked in the right image are [6] 10.51 μm, [2] 9.53 μm, [5] 10.45 μm, [1] 9.50 μm, [4] 10.64 μm, and [3] 9.58 μm, respectively. Figure 25 It can be seen that the copper layer plated on the surface has obvious density and has achieved the construction of fine metal patterns with line widths of less than 10μm.

[0154] Figure 26 The conductivity of the (a) copper layer and (b) silver layer deposited on the surface of the polyimide film after photolithography in Example 3 was tested. Figure 26 It can be seen that both the copper and silver layers plated on the surface have good electrical conductivity.

[0155] Figure 27 This refers to the interfacial bonding strength test of copper plating on the polyimide film surface after photolithography in Example 3. Figure 27 It can be seen that the copper plating layer on the surface has excellent adhesion.

[0156] from Figure 15 , Figure 20 and Figure 24 As can be seen, the embodiments of the present invention can realize the construction of metal patterns from the macroscopic scale to the micrometer-level fine structure, and from Figure 25 It can be seen that the linewidth of the metal pattern reaches less than 10μm; moreover, the thickness of the metal layer can be precisely controlled by adjusting the immersion time in step S7; from Figure 18 The interfacial bonding strength test shows that the embodiments of the present invention establish a strong interaction network between polyimide and metal layer through molecular-level coordination anchoring mechanism, which significantly improves the interfacial bonding strength (exceeding 4B or reaching 5B level), effectively solving the key technical problem of insufficient metal-polymer interfacial adhesion in traditional methods.

[0157] In the field of flexible electronic device manufacturing, traditional metallization processes face the dual challenges of substrate compatibility and processing precision. In existing technologies, physical vapor deposition (PVD) requires operation at temperatures above 300°C, severely limiting its application on heat-sensitive flexible substrates. It also suffers from insufficient metal-substrate interfacial bonding strength (typically below 3B grade). While existing research has improved the metal bonding performance of polyimide through surface modification, these methods often lead to a significant increase in surface roughness and limited patterning precision (linewidths generally greater than 50 μm), affecting the high-frequency transmission characteristics of devices and failing to meet the development requirements of high-density flexible circuits. This invention achieves direct metallization of polyimide film surfaces by introducing specific nitrogen heterocyclic structures into the polyimide molecular chain as metal coordination active sites. This allows for the fabrication of large-area metal layers and the realization of fine patterned structures, with controllable metal layer thickness, high interfacial bonding strength, and excellent conductivity. This method is simple, compatible with various patterning strategies, and effectively solves key technical challenges in traditional methods such as interfacial adhesion, process complexity, and substrate protection.

[0158] This invention specifically relates to a class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compounds, their preparation methods, and applications. These nitrogen-containing heterocyclic diamine compounds can be directly used in the preparation of polyimide films. The nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure possesses strong metal ion coordination ability, serving as active sites to achieve direct metallization of polyimide films without additional surface treatment. The method of this invention can prepare both large-size metal patterns and micron-level fine structures, with controllable metal layer thickness, strong adhesion, and excellent conductivity. This technology can be applied to optoelectronic fields such as flexible sensors, flexible detectors, flexible solar cells, flexible transparent electrodes, microelectronic packaging, aerospace equipment, medical implants, touch systems, and electromagnetic shielding. In summary, the polyimide films prepared in the embodiments of this invention, through the metal ion coordination provided by the nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structure, can achieve direct surface metallization patterns, suitable for multi-scale pattern preparation from large areas to microstructures. The thickness of the formed metal layer can be precisely controlled, exhibiting excellent bonding strength and conductivity. This technology has broad application prospects in flexible electronics, optoelectronic devices, microelectronic packaging, aerospace, medical implants, and electromagnetic shielding.
