[0021] The fluororesin sheet material disclosed herein can be bonded at a temperature below the melting point of the fluororesin. It exhibits excellent adhesion to metal layers. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0022] The details of this disclosure are described below. Conventionally, in surface modification of fluororesin sheets by plasma treatment, the requirements for obtaining good adhesion While patents specifying the amount of oxygen or specific functional groups are occasionally seen, they do not address bonding below the melting point. However, satisfactory adhesion cannot be obtained with those requirements alone. This can lead to peeling and a decrease in the reliability of the substrate in subsequent processes.
[0023] This disclosure relates to a method for surface-treating a fluororesin sheet material, which improves the in-plane uniformity of the surface treatment. By doing so, when bonding at a temperature below the melting point of the fluororesin, the bonding with metal layers such as copper foil is improved. This results in better adhesion. Conventionally, in order to improve adhesion, the Rz of the metal foil surface and the Ra of the fluororesin film surface were used. While evaluations have been made regarding Rz and other factors, the present inventors have developed a fluororesin sheet material surface Focusing on the maximum peak height (Rp) and maximum peak depth (Rv) of the surface, at least one of these can be identified. Even if bonding is performed at a temperature below the melting point of the fluororesin, if it is within this range, the bonding with the metal layer will not occur. It was revealed that it would be superior in quality. Furthermore, if the relationship between the metal foil Rp and the Rp or Rv of the fluorine sheet material is specific, adhesion It has good performance, maintains low transmission loss characteristics, and exhibits excellent properties when used as a circuit board. We found that a laminate having the following properties can be obtained.
[0024] (Fluororesin sheet material) The fluororesin sheet material of this disclosure has at least one surface state determined by atomic force microscopy. It is characterized by having a maximum peak height (Rp) of 30-150 nm when measured (1). It is.
[0025] The above maximum peak height (Rp) is 30-150 nm, which means that the contact point is below the melting point of the fluororesin. Under temperature conditions, functional groups present on the surface of the metal foil and the fluororesin sheet material form bonds. Because the distance is easily set to the appropriate level for formation, adhesion with the metal foil is good, and as a result, This eliminates cosmetic defects and peeling, improving the reliability of the circuit board. By enabling bonding at temperatures below the melting point of fluororesin, warping of the metal foil becomes less likely, and the outer The appearance improves. Furthermore, the reduced peeling resistance maintains surface smoothness, resulting in low transmission loss. The loss of properties is maintained. Furthermore, if the bonding temperature can be lowered, manufacturing becomes easier, and production Production efficiency will also increase.
[0026] Furthermore, the fluororesin sheet material of this disclosure has at least one surface state that can be examined using an atomic force microscope. The maximum peak depth (Rv) measured by this method is -30 to -120 nm (2). This serves as a distinguishing feature.
[0027] The above maximum peak depth (Rv) is -30 to -120 nm, and the maximum peak height (Rp) is -30 to -120 nm. At bonding temperatures below the melting point of the raw resin, the metal foil and the fluororesin sheet material are present on their surfaces. Because the functional groups tend to be at an appropriate distance for bonding, it exhibits good adhesion to metal foil. As a result, cosmetic defects and peeling are eliminated, improving the reliability of the circuit board. To rise. By enabling bonding at temperatures below the melting point of fluororesin, warping of the metal foil becomes less likely, and the outer The appearance improves. Furthermore, the reduced peeling resistance maintains surface smoothness, resulting in low transmission loss. The loss of properties is maintained. Furthermore, if the bonding temperature can be lowered, manufacturing becomes easier, and production Production efficiency will also increase.
[0028] Here, the maximum peak height (Rp) and maximum peak depth (Rv) are determined by the following method. ru. Using a scanning atomic force microscope AFM5000 (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Corporation), under the conditions shown below: Surface Rp and surface Rv of fluororesin sheet material surface and metal foil in a 10 μm square area We measured it. Cantilever: SI-DF20 (tip radius < 10 nm, spring constant 15 N / m) Measurement mode: AC mode Scanning frequency: 1Hz Pixel count: 256 x 256
[0029] The fluororesin sheet material of this disclosure has at least one surface state determined by atomic force microscopy. The maximum peak height (Rp) measured is 30-150 nm (1), and the maximum peak depth is (2) It is preferable that the Rv is -30 to -120 nm. Thus, by satisfying both conditions, the adhesive temperature below the melting point of the fluororesin can be used. In this context, the functional groups present on the surface of the metal foil and the fluororesin sheet material form a bond. This will create an even more appropriate distance.
[0030] The maximum peak height (Rp) is preferably 40-120 nm, and 50-100 nm. It is preferable that it be so. Furthermore, the maximum peak depth (Rv) is preferably -40 to -100 nm, and -50 to - A more preferable nm size is 90nm.
[0031] The fluororesin sheet material of this disclosure, which satisfies the above physical properties, is particularly capable of withstanding corona discharge. The surface is treated, and in this process, for example, nitrogen gas, argon and carbon dioxide gas are used as inert gases. By using this method and imparting functional groups with carbon dioxide, the in-plane uniformity of the surface treatment is enhanced. This is possible. Details of the surface treatment method will be described later.

Such fluororesins can be produced by adjusting the conditions during manufacturing (polymerization reaction), The polymerized fluororesin is subjected to fluorine gas treatment, heat treatment, supercritical gas extraction, etc. There are methods to reduce the number of unstable end groups. Because some or all of it is converted to -CF3 and becomes a stable end group, fluorine gas treatment is preferred. It is so.

It is even more preferable that it be present. The lower limit is not particularly limited, but is 5 nm or greater. It is preferable. If the above Ra is within the above range, the smoothness of the raw material itself is high, and the surface treatment is applied more uniformly within the plane. It is desirable in that respect.
[0070] Furthermore, the surface state of the fluororesin sheet material of this disclosure is analyzed using a scanning X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy system. The oxygen element ratio measured by XPS / ESCA and the fluororesin sheet. The material was subjected to an argon gas cluster ion beam at an incidence angle of 45° for 15 minutes in the depth direction. After interetching, measurements were taken using a scanning X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS / ESCA) analyzer. It is preferable that the difference in the oxygen element ratio when determined is 1.0 atomic% or more. The greater the difference in the oxygen element ratio from the surface to the depth, the more the adhesion is maintained while achieving a predetermined result. This is preferable because it allows for the elimination of transmission loss.
[0071] The oxygen element ratio after etching as described above is, in the fluororesin sheet material, surface treatment This represents the oxygen element ratio on the surface before the process. Therefore, the difference in the above oxygen element ratio is the surface This represents the increased oxygen element ratio resulting from the treatment.
[0072] The above fluororesin sheet material may be on one side only or both sides, within the same plane of the sheet material It is preferable that the adhesive strength when the two materials are bonded together at 200°C is greater than 30 N / m.

That is even more preferable.
[0073] The above adhesive strength is more specifically determined by overlapping the surface-treated surfaces of two fluororesin sheet materials. Samples prepared using a press (200℃, 0.1MPa, 60s) were cut into 10mm wide strips. Cut into shape, and use the precision universal testing machine Autograph AGS-X 100N (Shimadzu Corporation) Using (manufactured), the unattached parts of the strip-shaped sample are attached to the top and bottom chucks of the autograph.

It is more preferable that it is less than 0.0010, and even more preferable that it is less than 0.0005. A value of 0 or less is most preferable. To keep the dielectric loss tangent within the above range, use a resin with fewer unstable end groups. It is preferable to use a fluororesin that has undergone terminal fluorination treatment, and it is even more preferable to use a fluororesin that has undergone terminal fluorination treatment.
[0075] (Method for manufacturing fluororesin sheet material) The following details an example of a method for manufacturing the fluororesin sheet material described above. The disclosed fluororesin sheet material is not limited to those manufactured by the following manufacturing methods. stomach. The fluororesin sheet material of this disclosure does not particularly limit the molding method for forming it into a sheet. However, for example, methods using melt molding such as extrusion molding, solutions containing fluororesin or Methods include a casting method in which a dispersion is prepared, applied to a substrate, and dried. Furthermore, the sheet was stretched using either uniaxial or biaxial stretching. It may be a sheet, or it may be an unstretched sheet. Furthermore, the fluororesin sheet material may be partially It may also be a laminated structure including a fluororesin layer.
[0076] The fluororesin sheet material obtained by this method is subjected to appropriate conditions on one side or By performing surface treatment on both sides, the above-mentioned maximum peak height (Rp) and maximum peak depth (R It can be a fluororesin sheet material having (v)
[0077] The specific methods for surface modification described above are not limited, but some specific examples are given below. I will elaborate. Surface modification of fluororesin sheet materials is performed using conventional methods such as corona discharge treatment and glow discharge. Discharge treatments such as plasma discharge treatment and sputtering treatment can be employed. In particular, Corona discharge treatment is preferred. For example, oxygen gas, nitrogen gas, hydrogen gas, carbon dioxide, methane gas, ethylene gas in a discharge atmosphere In addition to being able to control the surface free energy by introducing gases such as ion gas, organic compounds can be used. The surface to be modified is exposed to an atmosphere of an inert gas containing organic compounds, which is an inert gas, and the electrodes By applying a high-frequency voltage between them, a discharge is induced, which generates active species on the surface. Next, by introducing functional groups of organic compounds or by graft polymerization of polymerizable organic compounds... This allows for surface modification. Examples of the above inert gases include nitrogen gas and helium. Examples include mugas and argon gas.
[0078] In particular, it is preferable to use nitrogen gas and argon gas in combination. Furthermore, it is preferable to use carbon dioxide. This is preferable. The preferred ratio (by volume) of nitrogen gas to argon gas is 90 / 10 to 40 / 60. Furthermore, a ratio of 80 / 20 to 50 / 50 is even more preferable. It is not certain, but by adjusting the Ar ratio to a suitable range, the discharge becomes more stable and the surface modification becomes more uniform. It is thought that this is possible. Furthermore, the amount of carbon dioxide is preferably 0.05 to 5% by volume relative to nitrogen gas / argon gas. Ideally, the volume should be between 0.1 and 2 percent. It is not certain, but by mixing in an appropriate amount of carbon dioxide, the contact on the surface of the fluororesin sheet material The functional groups that contribute to adhesion are considered to be within a suitable range.
[0079] The organic compound in the inert gas containing the aforementioned organic compound is polymerizable or non-polymerizable, containing an oxygen atom. Examples include polymerizable organic compounds, such as vinyl esters like vinyl acetate and vinyl formate. ;Acrylates such as glycidyl methacrylate;Vinyl ethyl ether, vinyl ethers such as methyl ether and glycidyl methyl ether; acetic acid and formic acid. Acids; such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, phenol, ethylene glycol, etc. Alcohols; ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone; ethyl acetate and ethyl formate. Carboxylic acid esters such as acrylic acid; acrylic acids such as acrylic acid and methacrylic acid. Among these, the modified surface is less prone to deactivation, meaning it has a longer lifespan and is easier to handle. For these reasons, vinyl esters, acrylic acid esters, and ketones are preferred, and vinyl acetate in particular. Nyl, glycidyl methacrylate is preferred.
[0080] The concentration of the organic compound in the aforementioned inert gas containing the organic compound depends on its type and the surface modification of the fluorine. Although it varies depending on the type of resin, it is usually 0.1 to 3.0% by volume, preferably 0.1 to 1%. 0.0% by volume, more preferably 0.15 to 1.0% by volume, even more preferably 0.30 to 1.0% by volume This is a percentage of the capacity. The discharge conditions depend on the desired degree of surface modification, the type of fluororesin, and the type and concentration of organic compounds. The appropriate selection should be made depending on the circumstances. Typically, the discharge rate is 50-1500 W·min / m 2 , preferred Or 70W·min / m 2 More than 1400W min / m 2Discharge treatment will be performed within the following range. The processing temperature can be any temperature within the range of 0°C to 100°C. Fluororesin Due to concerns about stretching and wrinkling of the sheet-like material, a temperature of 80°C or lower is preferable. The degree of surface modification of fluororesin sheet materials depends on the heat applied during lamination with metal foil, etc. Considering that the oxygen elements on the surface are deactivated by various factors, reducing the adhesive strength, ESCA The observed oxygen element abundance is 1.5% or higher, and 1.75% or higher is preferable. It is preferable that it be 2.0% or more, and even more preferable that it be 2.5% or more. i. There are no specific regulations regarding the upper limit, but considering the impact on productivity and other physical properties, 2 It is preferable that the amount be 5.0% or less. While there are no specific requirements regarding the relative abundance of nitrogen, it is preferable that it be 0.1% or higher.
[0081] In the above surface modification process, the discharge rate, which indicates the output per unit area, should be 1.0 to 10 W / cm². 2 Discharge treatment is performed within the range, and the gas concentration / line velocity ratio at that time is 0.005~0.05 L / It is preferable to adjust it to the range of m. The gas concentration / line velocity ratio referred to here is the organic compound in the inert gas containing the organic compound This represents the ratio obtained by dividing the concentration of a substance by the line speed. If the flow rate is lower than 0.005 L / m, the space will not be sufficiently filled with gas relative to the transport speed, and the activity will not be activated. The transformed gas becomes less likely to come into contact with the surface of the fluororesin sheet material, resulting in a decrease in uniformity within the surface. This is a tendency. If the concentration is higher than 0.05 L / m, the surface is over-treated and damaged. Furthermore, the formation of low molecular weight compounds on the surface creates a brittle layer, which actually lowers the adhesive strength. This tends to lead to the following. Therefore, the surface of the fluororesin sheet material is treated more uniformly, Since it is presumed that the required level of adhesion can be achieved, processing within this range is particularly preferable.
[0082] Furthermore, in the above method, the surface state of one or both sides of the fluororesin sheet material is scanned. The oxygen element ratio measured by a Type X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS / ESCA) analyzer, The fluororesin-containing layer is subjected to an incident angle of 45° by an argon gas cluster ion beam. After etching in the depth direction for 15 minutes, scanning X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS / ES) is performed. The difference in the oxygen element ratio measured by CA is 1.0 atomic% or more. Surface treatment is preferable.
[0083] In the above method, when surface treatment is performed with a gas containing an organic compound, the resin surface By creating localized irregularities, the coefficient of dynamic friction between the metal foil surface and the fluororesin sheet-like material surface can be improved. It is also preferable that the value can be set to 0.4 or less. In other words, good adhesive strength is achieved. In addition, the coefficient of dynamic friction can be made small. This makes it possible to create long laminates. This is preferable because it prevents winding defects.
[0084] The fluororesin sheet material surface-treated using the above method is subjected to annealing treatment, and the remaining The retaining stress may be removed. This allows for lamination with metal foil to produce a laminate. In the process, the dimensional change of the fluororesin sheet material due to heat from the pressure roll is reduced, and wrinkles are eliminated. Because the laminates can be bonded together without any impurities, defects in the appearance of the laminate can be suppressed. Heat treatment reduces the amount of oxygen on the surface of the fluororesin sheet material. Therefore, sufficient surface oxygen is required at the time the fluororesin sheet material and the metal foil are bonded together. It is preferable to perform surface modification under conditions that allow for obtaining a sufficient quantity.
[0085] Annealing can be performed by heat treatment. This heat treatment can be performed, for example, by rolling to This can be done by passing the material through a heating furnace using a roll system. It can then be placed in a batch-type drying oven. Heat treatment may be performed.
[0086] The annealing temperature should preferably be above the glass transition temperature of the fluororesin (-20°C) and below its melting point. More preferably, the temperature is above the glass transition temperature of the fluororesin and below the melting point of -20°C. It is even more preferable that the fluororesin has a glass transition temperature above its melting point and a melting point below -60°C. The processing time is not particularly limited, but can be adjusted as needed, for example, between 0.5 and 60 minutes.
[0087] When heating using the roll-to-roll method described above, the tension depends on the thickness of the fluororesin sheet material and the setting This can be adjusted as needed by maintaining a constant temperature, but it is preferable to keep it below 20 N / m. By heating under such conditions, internal stresses can be sufficiently relieved, and dimensional changes and other phenomena can be avoided. It is preferable in that it does not cause any problems.
[0088] The above surface treatment and annealing treatments are not limited to any particular order, and each The number of times the process is performed is not limited to just once; it may be performed two or more times.

[0119] In the manufacturing of the laminate according to this disclosure, the method for bonding the metal foil and the fluororesin sheet material is: Although not particularly limited, from the viewpoint of excellent manufacturing efficiency, a roll-to-roll lamination method is particularly preferred.
[0120] By manufacturing in a roll-to-roll manner, cost reduction can be achieved, and it is also preferable in that a long laminated body can be obtained. When manufacturing a laminated body by such a method, the width of the laminated body is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 200 mm or more.
[0121] In addition, in the case of a laminated body in which a metal foil is adhered to the surface-treated surface of a fluororesin sheet-like material that has been surface-treated only on one side, in order to improve the adhesiveness between the laminated body and other materials, surface modification may be separately performed on the surface of the fluororesin sheet-like material that has not been surface-treated.
[0122] The laminated body of the present disclosure has good adhesiveness between the metal layer and the fluororesin sheet-like material and is resistant to peeling. Therefore, since the surface smoothness of the adhesive surface can be maintained, it has the advantage of low transmission loss. For this reason, it can be suitably used for circuit boards and the like. In particular, it can be particularly suitably used for circuit boards of high-frequency circuits. The present disclosure also includes a circuit board having the above-described fluororesin sheet-like material or laminated body of the present disclosure.
[0123] In the present disclosure, the high-frequency circuit does not simply consist of a circuit that transmits only high-frequency signals, but also includes a transmission path that converts a high-frequency signal into a low-frequency signal and outputs the generated low-frequency signal to the outside, or a transmission path for supplying a power source for driving high-frequency compatible components, etc., and a circuit in which transmission paths for transmitting signals that are not high-frequency signals are also provided on the same plane. In addition, it can also be used as a circuit board such as an antenna or a filter.
