Solution Overview

Problem

The progress of printed wiring board technology lags behind semiconductor technology, with demands for high densification, improved reliability, and reduced costs, and existing entry sheets for drilling do not adequately meet these requirements, particularly in terms of hole position accuracy and drill bit durability.

Innovation Solution

An entry sheet for drilling is developed with a metallic support foil and a resin composition layer containing 70-130 parts by mass of molybdenum disulfide as a solid lubricant, optimized for improved hole position accuracy and lubrication, where the molybdenum disulfide has a purity of 85% or more and an average particle diameter of 1-20 μm, enhancing the centrality and wear resistance of the drill bit.

Solution Approach 1:

The entry sheet employs a composite structure consisting of a resin layer containing molybdenum disulfide particles and a metal foil support layer. This composite material design combines the lubricating properties of molybdenum disulfide with the mechanical strength of metal foil, simultaneously improving hole position accuracy through reduced friction and drill bit durability through structural support.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The invention optimizes specific parameters including molybdenum disulfide particle size (0.1-10 μm), particle content (1-50 parts by mass per 100 parts resin), and resin layer thickness (1-10 μm). These parameter optimizations enhance the lubricating effect while maintaining structural integrity, thereby improving both hole position accuracy and drill bit durability.
