The Mean

Printed circuit boards have been reported to have limited lifetime at 200 to 250°C. Characterization and modeling high temperature laminates for application at 200 to 250°C was conducted to better quantify the mean lifetime using accelerated testing of key functional parameters. Life testing and model development was applied for via cyclic life, peel strength, and weight loss. Four high temperature laminates consisting of 2 types were evaluated. Via lifetime was characterization using Interconnect Stress Test (IST) coupons. Peel strength was tested using IPC IPC-TM-650 method 2.4.8c. Weight loss was characterized using isothermal aging. Comparison of lifetime is made between the laminate samples.

A simple low plasma power and roughness free process for improving the adherence of Cu to PTFE is presented. The results show that low pressure and Ar flow combination are the drivers of this improved adherence. Copper Peel Strength Tensile values up to 60 kg/m are obtained which are comparable to those shown in commercial composite dielectrics for high-frequency applications Printed Circuit Boards.

Printed circuit boards have been reported to have limited lifetime at 200 to 250°C. Characterization of high temperature laminates for application at 200 to 250°C was conducted to better quantify their lifetime using accelerated testing of key functional parameters. Eight high temperature laminates consisting of 3 material types was evaluated. Life testing was applied for via cyclic life, weight loss, peel strength, and surface insulation resistance. Via lifetime was characterization using Interconnect Stress Test (IST) coupons. Weight loss was measured at intervals during the life of the tests. Peel strength was tested using IPC IPC-TM-650 method 2.4.8c. Weight loss was characterized using isothermal aging. Comparison of lifetime is made between the laminate samples. The non-polyimide laminates exhibited the longer life times than polyimide laminates in most tests except peel strength. Peel strength is the life limiting parameter for the laminates. Parylene HT was found to improve stability in peel strength and weight loss of one PTFE laminate tested.

Copper Coatings

Chemical production of metal coatings is relevant and widely sought after. The field of practical use of chemical metal deposition reactions from aqueous solutions are continuously expanding. These reactions are widely used to obtain metal coatings for various purposes and begin to be used for the selective deposition of metals on a substrate in the form of patterns. Chemical copper plating has gained great practical importance. In additive and subtractive technology for the production of printed circuit boards, thick-layer chemical copper plating solutions are used to obtain a circuit diagram and metallization of holes. These are solutions that avoid the stage of galvanic copper plating, since the chemically deposited copper layer is sufficiently thick and allows further technological operations to be carried out. Chemical copper plating solutions must be stable, work with a sufficient copper plating rate and, most importantly, the resulting copper coatings have high physical and mechanical properties. This is due to the fact that during operation, printed circuit boards can be significantly heated, which leads to thermal expansion of both the board material and the copper coating. Due to the difference in the linear expansion coefficients of the substrate material and the deposited copper, significant stresses can occur in the copper layer deposited on the walls of the holes of the printed circuit board. When applying an inelastic copper coating, the layer breaks and the board exits the operating mode. This work is devoted to the study of the effect of some inorganic oxidizing agents on the properties of chemically precipitated copper, and this effect mainly affects the reduction of oxygen fragility. The mechanism of the process of chemical copper plating of a dielectric surface activated by palladium(II) salts is considered in detail. It is shown that at a high deposition rate of chemical copper, hydrogen is included in the coating, which leads to the appearance of “hydrogen” brittleness. Bubbling a solution of chemical copper plating with air increases the stability of the solution and can be used to oxidize certain forms of organic additives introduced into the solution to reduce hydrogen embrittlement. It is established that the incorporation of particles of copper oxide or hydroxide of monovalent copper into the copper coating leads to a decrease in the ductility of the copper coating and a decrease in the relative elongation of the chemically deposited copper layers. It was shown that in order to reduce the “oxygen” brittleness or increase the ductility of copper coatings, inorganic oxidants  ammonium persulfate and ferric sulfate salts must be introduced into the solution of chemical copper plating. Based on the experiments, it was found that in order to improve the ductility of the resulting copper coatings, ferric sulfate (Fe2(SO4)3∙9H2O) in the amount of 0.15-0.2 gl1. The conducted research cycle allowed us to recommend the following composition of a solution of thick-layer chemical copper plating, mol∙l–1: CuSO4 – 0.1; KNaTart – 0.21; NaOH – 0.375; Na2CO3 – 0.028; K3Fe(CN)6 – 3∙10–5; Fe2(SO4)3 – 3∙10–4; NiCl2 – 1.3∙10–2; ПАВ-2К – 0.1 g/l; formaldehyde – 25 mll1 40% solution. The solution is stable during operation, the coating deposition rate is from 3 to 4 μmh1, the plasticity of the resulting copper layers is 4-5%.
