Abstract
An inkjet method for producing a solder mask in the manufacture of a Printed Circuit Board uses a solder mask inkjet ink containing at least one photo-initiator, at least one free radical polymerizable compound and at least one RAFT 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.

1-15. (canceled)
A radiation curable solder mask inkjet ink comprising:
- a photoinitiator;
- a free radical polymerizable compound;
- and
- an adhesion promoter;
- wherein
- the adhesion promoter has a chemical structure according to Formula I:
- wherein
- 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 or heteroaryl group, OR5, SR6, and NR7R8;
- R2 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, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or heteroaryl group;
- R3 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 or heteroaryl group, and an electron withdrawing group including at least one oxygen carbon double bond or a nitrile group;
- R2 and R3 may represent atoms that form a 5 to 8 membered ring;
- R4 is selected from the group consisting of an electron withdrawing group including at least one oxygen carbon double bond or a nitrile group, and a substituted or unsubstituted aryl or heteroaryl group;
- R5 and R6 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 or heteroaryl group;
- R7 and R8 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 or heteroaryl group;
- R7 and R8 may represent atoms that form a 5 to 8 membered ring;
- and
- none of R1 to R4 includes a photoinitiating moiety.
