Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a hole having a required shape accurately and stably, and to peel and remove a mask after the completion of etching easily by etching the surface of a polyimide resin while using a copper film, film thickness of which is shaped in specified thickness, as a mask material on the surface of the polyimide resin. CONSTITUTION:A copper film is formed onto the surface of a polyimide resin in 2mum or more, the copper film is photoetched and machined to a mask shape, and the surface of the polyimide resin is etched while employing the copper film as a mask material. When the copper film has thin film thickness, pinholes generated in the copper film cannot be removed, an etchant intrudes from the pinhole sections, and the copper film and the polyimide resin are peeled, thus requiring the thickness of the copper film in approximately 2mum or more. Accordingly, the copper film has excellent corrosion resistance against the etchant of the polyimide resin, and can also be applied to etching at a high temperature for a prolonged time, holes having a needed form can be shaped stably, and a mask is composed of copper, thus easily peeling and removing the mask after the completion of the etching of the polyimide resin.

[Prior Art] Polyimide resin has excellent properties such as heat resistance, electrical insulation, bending resistance, and chemical resistance, and is widely used as an insulating substrate for flexible printed wiring boards and as a carrier tape for TAB tape. ing. In the manufacturing of these, through holes are used to ensure conduction between layers in flexible printed wiring boards, and device holes for mounting semiconductor elements and device holes in TAB tapes are used to transport the tape. It is necessary to form sprocket holes, etc. The method for forming these holes in polyimide resin is to form a mask on the surface of the polyimide resin using an organic solvent-developed photoresist, then etch the polyimide resin using various conventional solvents, and then remove the mask. A method of peeling off or dissolving and removing is adopted. Known etching solutions for polyimide resin used in this case include a highly concentrated alkaline aqueous solution, hydrazine 1 hydrate, or a mixed solution of hydrazine 1 hydrate and various amines, but hydrazine 1 hydrate, which has a high etching rate, is usually used. A permanent hydrate or a mixed solution of hydrazine monohydrate and various amines are often used.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional polyimide resin etching method using a mask formed using an organic solvent-developed photoresist and an etching solution for polyimide resin, the mask has poor corrosion resistance to the etching solution. There is a problem of scarcity and erosion. In addition, the mask has poor adhesion to the polyimide resin (not only does the etching solution enter between the mask and the polyimide resin, but the mask peels off from the polyimide resin when etching is performed at high temperatures and for a long time. Due to this problem, it is difficult to accurately and stably form holes of a required shape.

On the other hand, the use of printing type resist ink has been proposed as a solution to the above problems, but this resist ink is a permanent resist, and it is difficult to peel or remove the resist after etching, which limits its use. There is a problem with this.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventors formed a copper film on the surface of a polyimide resin, formed a mask using the copper film, and etched the polyimide resin. The mask is not damaged, the etching solution does not enter between the mask and the polyimide resin, and after etching the polyimide resin, the mask can be easily dissolved and removed without affecting the polyimide resin. The inventors have discovered that it is possible to do this, leading to the present invention.

That is, the present invention is a method for etching a polyimide resin using as a mask material a copper film formed on the surface of the polyimide resin to a thickness of about 2 μm or more.

[Function] In the present invention, the method of forming a copper film on the surface of the polyimide resin is not particularly limited, and may be an electroless copper plating method or a sputtering method. It is also possible to use the copper plating method in combination.

In the present invention, when the thickness of the copper coating is thin, pinholes generated in the copper coating cannot be eliminated, and the etching solution enters through the pinholes, causing separation between the copper coating and the polyimide resin. Therefore, the thickness of the copper coating formed on the surface of the polyimide resin needs to be about 2 μm or more. on the other hand,
If the copper film becomes too thick, it will take time to form a mask by etching the copper film, and the dimensional accuracy of the mask will decrease, so it is not desirable to make the film thicker than the etching conditions employed.

The method of etching the copper film to form a mask is the usual method (for example, forming a pattern on the copper film with photoresist, then etching it with an aqueous ammonium persulfate solution, an aqueous ferric chloride solution, or a ferric chloride solution). A method of dissolving and removing copper other than the pattern portion using an aqueous copper solution, a mixed solution of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid, or the like may be used.

In addition, since the method of the present invention uses a copper coating as a mask, the mask can be easily removed after etching the polyimide resin without affecting the polyimide resin.

Next, apply hydrazine 1 at a liquid temperature of 60°C to the exposed surface of Kapton.
Kapton etching was carried out by spraying a mixed solution of hydrate and ethylenediamine at a volume ratio of 1:1 as an etching solution for 4 minutes. After etching, add 500 copper masks.
It was dissolved in g/l aqueous ferric chloride solution and removed. As a result, it was possible to obtain a Kapton having a square opening with good linearity and negative sides of 10°2 mm and 1.2 mm. Also, no peeling occurred between the copper mask and Kapton during etching. The reason why the dimensions of the openings are increased by 0.2 mm relative to the mask dimensions is that the etching progresses not only in the thickness direction of the Kapton but also in the planar direction.
