Wherein the thickness of the nickel-phosphorus alloy resistor layer is mostly controlled between 0.1 and 1 mu m.
The current processes for producing the buried resistor copper foil can be divided into three main types: the first method is to deposit a layer of resistance alloy material on the copper foil by adopting a vacuum sputtering mode; the second is to deposit a layer of resistance alloy material on the copper foil by using a chemical induction deposition mode; the third is to electroplate a layer of resistive alloy material on the copper foil using an electrochemical process.

Finally, the electroplating process has the inherent advantages, the requirements on equipment are not high, the common electroplating equipment can meet the requirements, but the electroplating process has the defect that compared with chemical plating and sputtering, the process control difficulty is higher, the application of the electroplating process in the field of the buried copper foil is limited by the defect, and the technical problem in the research and development direction is to break through the defect of the electroplating process and obtain a stable electroplating system.
For the test method of the embedded resistance copper foil resistor produced by the method, a test area needs to be set during layout, such as a test method of a PCB with embedded resistance and embedded resistance in China patent CN104619114A, which is more complicated.
Based on the problems in the background technology, research and development personnel propose a preparation method and a resistance test method of a buried resistance copper foil.

The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
(1) The method breaks through the technical problem of the traditional electroplating process, and the method takes sodium hypophosphite as a phosphorus source, so that positive monovalent phosphorus is easy to codeposit, has high reduction potential and can promote nickel deposition. Boric acid is used as a buffering agent and a surface passivating agent of metallic nickel, and the passivation of nickel improves the content of metal oxide in the alloy resistance layer and further improves the resistivity. After the complexing agent, the wetting agent, the stabilizer and the inhibitor are reasonably matched, the electroplating solution has no impurity precipitation, can be recycled for multiple times, and the deposited alloy has small stress in the resistance layer, is uniform and compact, has no surface crack and has stable resistivity.
The preparation principle of depositing a layer of resistance alloy material on the copper foil by adopting the electroplating process has low requirements on equipment, and common electroplating equipment can meet the requirements.
(2) According to the invention, copper foils with different thicknesses and roughness are used, a layer of resistance alloy material is electroplated on the copper foils, and the prepared buried resistance copper foil can meet different binding force and downstream application requirements; standard profile copper foil (Rz about 5-10 μm) is applied to laminates of general FR-4, polyimide and the like; the low-profile copper foil (Rz is about 2-7 mu m) is mainly applied to the circuit board fields of high-frequency, high-density interconnection HDI, narrow linewidth line distance and the like; ultra low profile (Rz about 0.5-2 μm) copper foil is used in the circuit board fields of high frequency, high speed, narrow tolerance, low loss, packaging, etc.
(3) In the preparation method of the invention, the functions of each substance in the components of the electroplating solution are as follows:
the main function of nickel sulfate hexahydrate is to provide nickel ions; on the other hand, nickel chloride is used in the conventional nickel electroplating industry, and nickel sulfate is used instead of nickel chloride, so that the nickel sulfate reduces corrosion to the anode and the cathode because chloride ions corrode the anode and the cathode.
Sodium citrate is a main complexing agent, so that the concentration of free electrolyte in the plating solution is controlled, the cathode polarization is improved, and the service life of the plating solution is prolonged.
The sodium hypophosphite is used as a phosphorus source, the valence of phosphorus is positive and monovalent, and the sodium hypophosphite is easy to reduce, so that the co-deposition speed of phosphorus can be increased, and the phosphorus content in a plating layer is increased; in addition, under the acidic condition, the sodium hypophosphite has great reduction potential (the reduction potential is < -0.7V), so that the sodium hypophosphite has strong reducibility, can promote the deposition of nickel and improves the electrodeposition speed of a cathode.
The two weak acids of phosphoric acid and boric acid are used as buffering agents of the invention, and besides adjusting the pH value of the plating solution, the phosphoric acid can inhibit the oxidation of hypophosphite at the anode, inhibit the precipitation of nickel phosphite, provide hydrogen ions at the interface of the cathode and promote the deposition of phosphorus. And boric acid has passivation effect on metal nickel, and the boric acid is firstly contacted with the cathode to enable the metal nickel on the surface of the alloy resistance layer of the cathode to generate active sites, wherein the active sites can adsorb oxygen dissolved in plating solution, and the oxygen is further reduced under the action of electrons and combined with the nickel to generate oxidized nickel. The oxidized nickel is an insulator, and the resistivity of the plating layer is effectively improved by the oxidized nickel in the plating layer.
The alloy resistor layer of the invention contains not only nickel and phosphorus, but also tungsten, and sodium tungstate provides tungsten element in the invention. The sheet resistance of the resistive layer is inversely related to the thickness, and the thickness of the plating layer must be reduced in order to obtain a high sheet resistance; in the manufacturing process of the circuit board, the copper layer is subjected to chemical etching to form a circuit, tungsten has extremely strong corrosion resistance, and the resistance layer can be protected from being corroded by etching liquid, so that the sheet resistance of the resistance layer is kept stable.
Besides, complexing agent, wetting agent, stabilizer and inhibitor are added into the electroplating solution. The alloy resistor layer has very thin thickness, the surface is extremely easy to crack, a complexing agent and a wetting agent are required to be used for improving the uniformity of nickel-phosphorus co-deposition or nickel-phosphorus-tungsten co-deposition, reducing the internal stress of a plating layer and avoiding the generation of surface cracks; the stabilizer can make the current density distribution of the cathode more uniform, promote the uniform flow of electrolyte under the action of a uniform electric field, and promote the compactness and uniformity of cathode deposition; the inhibitor is added and attached to the surface of the cathode, so that abnormal rise of the current density of the micro-area is inhibited, and on one hand, sedimentation of impurity metal ions in the plating solution is reduced. The additives are matched within a certain concentration range (0.005-10 g/L), and all the components and the content thereof are compounded to form a stable electroplating system, so that the sheet resistance value of the final embedded resistance copper foil resistor layer is more stable, and the sheet resistance tolerance is less than 5%.
(4) The resistance test method provided by the invention does not need to laminate the embedded resistance copper foil board, expose, develop and etch the embedded resistance copper foil board into specific patterns, and then perform resistance test. According to the resistance testing method, an alloy resistance layer of the embedded resistance copper foil is adhered to a supporting layer in a low-temperature curing mode, then the copper layer is completely etched by using etching liquid, one surface of the alloy resistance layer, which is combined with the copper foil, is exposed, the alloy resistance layer is dried by washing, and finally the sheet resistance of the alloy resistance layer is measured by using four probes.
