Background technology
Printed circuit board (PCB) is widely used because having assembling density advantages of higher. Application about circuit card refers to document Takahashi, A.Ooki, N.Nagai, A.Akahoshi, H.Mukoh, A.Wajima, M.Res.Lab, HighdensitymultilayerprintedcircuitboardforHITACM-880, IEEETrans.onComponents, Packaging, andManufacturingTechnology, 1992,15 (4): 1418-1425.
Owing to electronic product is to individualized development, the requirement for the printed circuit board (PCB) being applied to electronic product is also more and more diversified. There is a kind of transparent printed circuit board (PCB) at present; it is for carrying and protect the insulated substrate of conductive circuit pattern, welding resisting layer etc. for transparent material; 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, it is provided that a copper-clad base plate, it copper foil layer comprising a transparent insulation stratum basale and being arranged at described stratum basale surface, and described copper foil layer is because being black through two-sided Darkening process; Secondly, paste dry film on described copper foil layer surface, and through exposure, development, etching and stripping technique, form conductive circuit pattern on described stratum basale surface; Finally on described conductive circuit pattern surface and from the stratum basale surface pressing transparent mulch film that described conductive circuit pattern is exposed, form transparent printed circuit board (PCB).
Wherein, tradition Darkening process liquid medicine used is generally the melanism liquid medicine containing hypochlorite, form the zone of oxidation containing cupric oxide and Red copper oxide of a black on copper foil layer surface after Darkening process, this zone of oxidation and blackening layer, the blackening layer of traditional melanism liquid medicine is fine hair shape (referring to Fig. 1), the blackening layer of fine hair shape easily comes off and the region of polluting around circuit, affects the transparency of wiring board. And, it is only the surface of copper foil layer is processed due to Darkening process, therefore, after an etching step, in copper foil layer with removed adjacent side, region by etching and can appear the reddish-brown of fine copper because exposing the internal layer of copper foil layer, the final printed circuit board (PCB) formed can due to the reddish-brown of described conductive circuit pattern side thus transparent feel is poor.
