Abstract
An inkjet method for producing a solder mask in the manufacture of a Printed Circuit uses a solder mask inkjet ink containing at least one photo-initiator, at least one free radical polymerizable compound and at least one allyl sulfone compound as adhesion promoter. A high quality solder mask withstanding the high thermal stress during the soldering process while maintaining excellent physical properties is produced.
Claims15
A method of manufacturing an electronic device, the method comprising:
- jetting a radiation curable solder mask inkjet ink onto a dielectric substrate including an electrically conductive pattern;
- and
- curing the jetted solder mask inkjet ink;
- wherein
- the solder mask inkjet ink includes:
- a photoinitiator;
- a free radical polymerizable compound;
- and
- an adhesion promoter according to Formula I:
- wherein
- n represents an integer from 0 to 2;
- R2 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group;
- E is selected from the group consisting of COR10 and a nitrile;
- R10 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group, OR11, and NR12R13;
- R11, R12, and R13 are independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group;
- and
- R12 and R13 may represent atoms that form a 5 to 8 membered ring;
- if n=0, then:
- R1 is selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group, R3C═O, R4C═S, and R5SO2;
- R3 and R4 are independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group, OR6, NR7R8, and SR9;
- R5, R6, and R9 are independently selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group;
- R7 and R8 are independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group;
- and
- R7 and R8 may represent atoms that form a 5 to 8 membered ring;
- if n=1 or 2, then:
- R1 is selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkaryl group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or heteroaryl group.
