Description of the Invention (彳) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding film for electronic equipment, and more particularly to a method combining physical vapor deposition and electroplating. A method of forming the electromagnetic wave interference shielding film. '... · BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an unwanted emission of energy. Its frequency ranges from 60 Hz to more than 1,000 MHz, of which 0.01 to 1000 MHz is part of radio frequency interference (RFI). range. The emission of EMI is accompanied by the use of electronic equipment, such as microwave ovens, personal computers, and so on. The emission of EMI will cause interference between electronic devices and generate noise problems, which will affect the normal operation of communication equipment such as radios, experimental instruments, and artificial palpitations. At present, advanced countries in the world have set standards for the maximum allowable EMI emissions from electronic equipment. For example, the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1983 set standards for digital electronic products that will produce 10KHz to 1000MHz. Elimination of EMI can generally be achieved by enveloping radiation by forming a shield on various electronic components or equipment. EMI shielding methods for non-conductive materials often include forming a metallic coating on the plastic casing of electronic equipment, such as spray painting, chemical metallization, and vacuum metallization. The types of metals include copper, silver, chromium, nickel 'silver' gold, zinc, and so on. Cathodic sputtering is used to form metal coatings on plastic materials with high energy consumption -3-This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (匚 灿) 8 4 specifications (210 father 297 mm) ----- ^ --- ^ -^ Install--Γ).

Description of the invention fc) Disadvantages. Therefore, recent industry attention has focused on forming EMI shielding films using electroless metals. A typical example can be found in U.S. Patent No. 4,514,486, in which a double-layer EMI shielding film of electroless zero copper plating and electroless nickel plating formed thereon is disclosed. The formation of electroless plated metal film requires a product to be immersed in a series of pretreatment steps of aqueous solution, then immersed in a precious metal catalyst solution, and finally immersed in an electroless plating solution containing the desired metal. Precious metal catalyst to reduce the desired metal on the surface of the article. In addition to the disadvantages of being time-consuming and labor-intensive, the formation of an electroless plated metal film is not selective, that is, an electroless plated metal film is formed on the entire surface of an article immersed in the aqueous solution. For those portions where the electroless metal plating film is not desired to be formed, such as the outer surface of an electronic device, an outer coating must be applied and covered. Both U.S. Patent No. 4670306 and U.S. Patent Application No. 2 1 69925 A have disclosed how to form a selective electroless plated metal film, which further includes additional steps and the use of chemicals, which is not conducive to production costs. . The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for selectively forming an EMI shielding film on the surface of a non-conductive material using a conventional plating technique. In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a method for forming an EMI shielding film completed in accordance with the present invention includes the following steps: -4-This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X ^ 7mm) (please first (Read the notes on the back and fill out this page)

Detailed description of the invention Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The present invention provides a novel method for preparing EMI shielding films for electronic equipment. The method of the present invention has the advantages of reducing production costs and forming an EMI shielding film on a specific portion of the surface of an electronic device. The shell of general electronic equipment is mostly made of plastic material, such as polystyrene, polyamine, propylene nitrile · butadiene-styrene-styrene storage (ABS) copolymer, polycarbonate, and the like. These plastic materials are not conductive, so they cannot be electroplated. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm). Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 4) A metal film is formed on the surface. However, the electroplating method is well-known to those in the industry as a very mature technology that can rapidly grow metal films at room temperature (as opposed to electroless metal plating and sputtering metal films). Therefore, if the electroplating technology can be successfully used to form an EMI shielding film, the production efficiency of the EMI shielding film can be significantly improved and the production cost can be significantly reduced. "In order to achieve this goal, the inventor of this case firstly performed physical vapor deposition A metal thin film is formed on the surface of the clean plastic substrate. The thickness of the metal thin film only needs to be thin enough to be used as a cathode for subsequent electroplating. Since only a thin gold metal film is needed, preferably between 0.1 -1 · 0 μιη, the operating temperature and time of the physical vapor deposition can be controlled under a condition that does not substantially damage the plastic material . Physical vapor deposition is a well-known technique in the industry, and mainly includes vapor deposition and sputtering. In the method of the present invention, sputtering with a long film rate is relatively suitable. Any sputtering technique known in the art can be used in the present invention. A suitable sputtering operation condition is: 10_2 -10 · 5 torr pressure, 20-70 ° C temperature, 1-10 minutes, 300-700 V voltage. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an ABS / polycarbonate plastic substrate is sputtered in an argon plasma having a pressure of 10_2 torr and a voltage of 450V at a temperature of 50 ° C for 4 minutes to form a substrate. A copper film with a thickness of about 0.2 μm. The metal thin film formed by physical vapor deposition on the surface of the plastic substrate, because the physical vapor deposition is directional, can be formed only on the uncovered specific part of the surface of the substrate by means of a masking method. In this way, in the subsequent electroplating step, a metal film will be plated only on the specific portion, and an EMI shielding film having a specific shape will be formed on the surface of the plastic substrate. More than one electroplating step can be successively performed to form a paper with a multiple film structure. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CMS) A4 specification (210X297 mm).

Preferably, the EMI shielding film with a multiple film structure includes a first layer of a copper film with good conductivity and a second layer of a nickel film with good abrasion resistance. The plating technology applicable to the present invention is not particularly limited. Preferably, the plastic substrate to be plated does not have an unwanted chemical reaction, such as invasion, as a principle. A plastic substrate having a physical vapor-deposited metal film is immersed in a plating solution of a plating system as a cathode, and metal ions in the plating solution are reduced and deposited on the physics when a direct current is passed to the plating system Vapor deposition on a metal film. The most commonly used electroplating solution suitable for electroplating copper is copper sulfate aqueous solution, while the electroplating nickel is the most commonly used. The electric ore solution is a mixed aqueous solution containing nickel sulfate, NiCl2 and H3B03. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an ABS / polycarbonate plastic substrate with a sputtered copper film (thickness about 0.2 μm) is successively plated with a copper film having a thickness of about 5 μm and nickel having a thickness of about 1 μm.

Upon inspection of this EM.I masking film, it was found that the EM.I masking film had no cracks in its appearance, had excellent adhesion, and was not easily peeled off from the surface of the plastic substrate. nn — ^ ϋ ^^ — ^ 1 ml ί.ι-ΙΛΊ · 'II 1—-(Please read the notes on the back before filling in this book) -0 ΙΦ The paper size of the paper printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm)
