Background technology
Printed circuit board (PCB) is widely used because having packaging density advantages of higher.Refer to document Takahashi about the application of circuit card, A. Ooki, N. Nagai, A. Akahoshi, H. Mukoh, A. Wajima, M. Res. Lab, High density multilayer printed circuit board for HITAC M-880, IEEE Trans. on Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology, 1992,15 (4): 1418-1425.
Because electronic product is to individualized development, also more and more diversified for the requirement of printed circuit board (PCB) that is applied to electronic product.There is at present a kind of transparent printed circuit board (PCB); it is transparent material for carrying and protecting insulated substrate, the welding resisting layer etc. of conductive circuit pattern; circuit in its conductive circuit pattern is generally slender type; and the material of its conductive circuit pattern is the copper through two-sided Darkening process, the black of the transparent and conductive circuit pattern of insulating material makes described printed circuit board (PCB) visually have transparent feel.The making method of described printed circuit board (PCB) is generally as follows: first, provide a copper-clad base plate, and the copper foil layer that it comprises a transparent insulation stratum basale and is arranged at described stratum basale surface, described copper foil layer is because being black through two-sided Darkening process; Secondly, at described copper foil layer surface label dry film, and through overexposure, development, etching and stripping technique, form conductive circuit pattern on described stratum basale surface; Finally the surperficial pressing transparent mulch film of stratum basale surperficial in described conductive circuit pattern and that expose from described conductive circuit pattern, forms transparent printed circuit board (PCB).
Wherein, tradition Darkening process liquid medicine used is generally the melanism liquid medicine containing hypochlorite, after Darkening process, form the zone of oxidation containing cupric oxide and Red copper oxide of a black on copper foil layer surface, this zone of oxidation is blackening layer, the blackening layer of traditional melanism liquid medicine is fine hair shape (referring to Fig. 1), villous blackening layer easily comes off and pollutes circuit region around, affects the transparency of wiring board.And, because Darkening process is that only process on the surface to copper foil layer, therefore, after etching step, in copper foil layer, the side adjacent with etched removal region can appear because exposing the internal layer of copper foil layer the reddish-brown of fine copper, thereby the final printed circuit board (PCB) forming can be poor due to the reddish-brown transparent feel of described conductive circuit pattern side.
