Abstract
Is disclosed a process for producing a copper-wiring polyimide film from a carrier-accompanied copper foil laminated polyimide film by a subtractive method or a semi-additive method. Washing the polyimide surface exposed by etching the copper foil with a etching solution capable of removing mainly at least one metal selected from Ni, Cr, Co, Zn, Sn and Mo or an alloy comprising at least one of these metals used for a surface treatment of the copper foil restrains an anomalous deposition of plating substances when the copper wiring is plated with tin.
Claims18
A process for producing a copper-wiring polyimide film, from a carrier-accompanied copper foil laminated polyimide film, by means of a subtractive method, the process comprising at least steps of:
- 1) stripping the carrier foil from the carrier-accompanied copper foil laminated polyimide film;
- 2) optionally plating copper on the copper foil;
- 3) forming an etching resist layer on an upper face of the copper foil;
- 4) exposing to light in a wiring pattern;
- 5) developing and removing the etching resist layer except a portion where the wiring pattern is intended to be formed;
- 6) removing by etching the copper foil except a portion where the wiring pattern is intended to be formed;
- 7) removing by stripping the etching resist layer;
- and
- 8) washing with an etching solution capable of removing at least one metal selected from Ni, Cr, Co, Zn, Sn and Mo or an alloy comprising at least one of these metals.
A process for producing a copper-wiring polyimide film, from a carrier-accompanied copper foil laminated polyimide film, by means of a semi-additive method, the process comprising at least steps of:
- 1) stripping the carrier foil from the carrier-accompanied copper foil laminated polyimide film;
- 2) optionally thinning by etching the copper foil;
- 3) forming a plating-resist layer on an upper face of the copper foil;
- 4) exposing to light in a wiring pattern;
- 5) developing and removing a portion of the plating-resist layer where the wiring pattern is intended to be formed;
- 6) plating copper on the bare part of the copper foil;
- 7) removing by stripping the plating-resist layer on the copper foil;
- 8) removing by flash-etching a portion of the copper foil where the plating-resist layer is removed to bare the polyimide;
- and
- 9) washing with an etching solution capable of removing at least one metal selected from Ni, Cr, Co, Zn, Sn and Mo or an alloy comprising at least one of these metals.
