Description

【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、レジスト剥離剤に係り、特に銅上に所定のパターンで形成されたレジストをマスクとしてすずめっき被膜を形成し、その後、銅上からレジストを剥離するためのレジスト剥離剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
例えば、パネルパターン二次銅はんだ剥離法によるPWB(Printed Wiring Board)製造工程において、はんだめっき被膜を形成した後のレジスト剥離には、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム等のアルカリ金属水酸化物の水溶液が用いられている。このようなアルカリ性水溶液からなるレジスト剥離剤としては、1,10フェナントロリン等を含有させることにより、はんだめっき被膜の溶解や鉛の析出を防止したレジスト剥離剤(特開平6−250401号公報)、所定の水溶性アミン、アンモニウム水酸化物、ベンゾトリアゾール類等を含有させることにより、剥離時間が短縮され、高密度、高精細化を可能としたレジスト剥離剤(特開2001−5201号公報)等が開発されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところが、昨今の鉛フリー化の影響を受けて、はんだめっき被膜からすずめっき被膜への転換が進んでいる。これに伴って、パネルパターン二次銅はんだ剥離法に使用されている従来のレジスト剥離剤を用いたレジスト剥離工程において、すずめっき被膜がアルカリ金属水酸化物水溶液に溶出し、さらに、溶出したすずが金属銅の上に再析出するという問題が顕在化している。このように金属銅の上に再析出したすず被膜は、レジスト剥離後の銅のエッチング工程においてエッチングレジストとして作用するため、均一なエッチングが困難となり、回路形成不良等の原因となる。
本発明は、上述のような実情に鑑みてなされたものであり、銅上にすずめっき被膜を形成した後に、銅上へのすず再析出を生じさせることなくレジストを剥離することが可能なレジスト剥離剤を提供することを目的とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者は、銅上へのすずの再析出の原因について種々検討を加えた結果、レジスト剥離剤中への銅の溶解を抑制することが有効な手段であると考え本発明をなした。すなわち、本発明は、少なくとも2−メルカプト−1−メチルイミダゾールを20〜50000ppmの範囲内で含有するアルカリ性水溶液であるような構成とした。また、本発明は、少なくとも2−チオウラシルを500〜50000ppmの範囲内で含有するアルカリ性水溶液であるような構成とした。また、本発明は、少なくとも2,4−ジチオピリミジンを200〜50000ppmの範囲内で含有するアルカリ性水溶液であるような構成とした。また、本発明は、少なくとも2−メルカプト−4−メチルピリミジン塩酸塩を2000〜50000ppmの範囲内で含有するアルカリ性水溶液であるような構成とした。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の最適な実施形態について説明する。
本発明のレジスト剥離剤は、下記式(1)で示される構造を分子内に有する複素環化合物を少なくとも含有するアルカリ性水溶液である。
【化3】

Figure 0003854523
このような本発明のレジスト剥離剤では、複素環化合物が銅表面上に吸着して不溶性の被膜を生じ、レジスト剥離剤中への銅の溶解(酸化)を抑制するため、すずの再析出(Sn2+の還元)を防止しながらレジスト剥離が可能となる。
【0007】
上記式(1)で示される構造を分子内に有する複素環化合物としては、具体的には、下記構造式(A)で示される2−ベンズイミダゾールチオール、下記構造式(B)で示される2−メルカプト−1−メチルイミダゾール、下記構造式(C)で示される2−チオウラシル、下記構造式(D)で示される2,4−ジチオピリミジン、下記構造式(E)で示される2−メルカプト−4−メチルピリミジン塩酸塩等が挙げられる。

Figure 0003854523
【0008】
上記式(1)で示される構造を分子内に有する複素環化合物のレジスト剥離剤中における含有量は、使用する複素環化合物の種類、レジスト剥離剤中への銅の溶出量(例えば、30〜50ppm程度)等に応じて適宜設定することができる。例えば、複素環化合物として上記の2−ベンズイミダゾールチオールを含有する場合は10ppm以上、上記の2−メルカプト−1−メチルイミダゾールを含有する場合は20ppm以上、上記の2−チオウラシルを含有する場合は500ppm以上、上記の2,4−ジチオピリミジンを含有する場合は200ppm以上、また、上記の2−メルカプト−4−メチルピリミジン塩酸塩を含有する場合は2000ppm以上の含有量とすることができる。レジスト剥離剤中に含有される複素環化合物量が不足すると本発明の効果が充分に発現されない。一方、レジスト剥離剤中の複素環化合物の含有量の上限には特に制限はないが、50000ppmを超える場合、更なる効果は得られず、複素環化合物添加によるレジスト剥離速度の低下、基板銅箔の変色等の弊害が生じるので、50000ppm以下の含有量とすることが好ましい。
【0009】
本発明のレジスト剥離剤のpHは、11〜14、好ましくは12.8〜13.4とすることができ、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム等のアルカリ金属水酸化物、モノエタノールアミン、ジエタノールアミン、トリエタノールアミン、エチレンジアミン等の水溶性アミンを溶解させて所望のpHを得ることができる。また、本発明のレジスト剥離剤には、他の添加剤としてポリエーテル系の非イオン界面活性剤からなる消泡剤等を必要に応じて添加することができる。このような添加剤の含有量は1g/L以下とすることが好ましい。
本発明のレジスト剥離剤を用いてレジスト剥離を行う場合、レジスト剥離剤の温度には特に制限はないが、例えば、40〜50℃の範囲で設定することが好ましい。レジスト剥離剤とレジストとの接触は、浸漬法、噴射法等いずれであってもよい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resist stripper, and more particularly, to a resist stripper for forming a tin plating film using a resist formed in a predetermined pattern on copper as a mask and then stripping the resist from copper.
[0002]
[Prior art]
For example, in the PWB (Printed Wiring Board) manufacturing process by the panel pattern secondary copper solder stripping method, the resist stripping after forming the solder plating film is an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. Is used. As such a resist stripper made of an alkaline aqueous solution, a resist stripper (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-250401) which prevents dissolution of the solder plating film and precipitation of lead by containing 1,10 phenanthroline or the like, predetermined By incorporating a water-soluble amine, ammonium hydroxide, benzotriazole, and the like, there is a resist stripping agent (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-5201) that can shorten the stripping time and enable high density and high definition. Has been developed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, under the recent influence of lead-free, the transition from solder plating film to tin plating film is progressing. Along with this, in the resist stripping process using the conventional resist stripping agent used in the panel pattern secondary copper solder stripping method, the tin plating film was eluted into the alkali metal hydroxide aqueous solution, and further the tin that was eluted Has re-deposited on copper metal. Thus, the tin film re-deposited on the copper metal acts as an etching resist in the copper etching process after the resist is peeled off, so that uniform etching becomes difficult and causes a circuit formation failure or the like.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a resist that can be stripped without causing tin reprecipitation on copper after forming a tin plating film on copper. An object is to provide a release agent.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of various studies on the cause of reprecipitation of tin on copper, the present inventor considered that suppressing dissolution of copper in a resist stripper is an effective means and made the present invention. That is, the present invention is configured to be an alkaline aqueous solution containing at least 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole in a range of 20 to 50000 ppm. Moreover, this invention was set as the structure which is an alkaline aqueous solution which contains at least 2-thiouracil within the range of 500-50000 ppm. Moreover, this invention was set as the structure which is an alkaline aqueous solution which contains at least 2, 4- dithio pyrimidine within the range of 200-50000 ppm. Moreover, this invention was set as the structure which is an alkaline aqueous solution which contains at least 2-mercapto-4-methylpyrimidine hydrochloride within the range of 2000-50000 ppm.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Next, an optimal embodiment of the present invention will be described.
The resist stripper of the present invention is an alkaline aqueous solution containing at least a heterocyclic compound having a structure represented by the following formula (1) in the molecule.
[Chemical 3]
Figure 0003854523
In such a resist stripper of the present invention, the heterocyclic compound is adsorbed on the copper surface to form an insoluble film, and the reprecipitation of tin (Sn) in order to suppress the dissolution (oxidation) of copper in the resist stripper. Resist stripping is possible while preventing (reduction of 2+ ).
[0007]
Specific examples of the heterocyclic compound having a structure represented by the above formula (1) in the molecule include 2-benzimidazolethiol represented by the following structural formula (A) and 2 represented by the following structural formula (B). -Mercapto-1-methylimidazole, 2-thiouracil represented by the following structural formula (C), 2,4-dithiopyrimidine represented by the following structural formula (D), 2-mercapto represented by the following structural formula (E)- 4-methylpyrimidine hydrochloride etc. are mentioned.

[0008]
The content of the heterocyclic compound having the structure represented by the formula (1) in the molecule in the resist stripper is the kind of the heterocyclic compound to be used, and the elution amount of copper in the resist stripper (for example, 30 to (Approx. 50 ppm) or the like. For example, when the above-mentioned 2-benzimidazolethiol is contained as a heterocyclic compound, it is 10 ppm or more, when it contains the above 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole, it is 20 ppm or more, and when it contains the above 2-thiouracil, 500 ppm. As mentioned above, when the above 2,4-dithiopyrimidine is contained, the content can be 200 ppm or more, and when the above 2-mercapto-4-methylpyrimidine hydrochloride is contained, the content can be 2000 ppm or more. If the amount of the heterocyclic compound contained in the resist stripper is insufficient, the effect of the present invention is not sufficiently exhibited. On the other hand, the upper limit of the content of the heterocyclic compound in the resist stripper is not particularly limited, but when it exceeds 50000 ppm, no further effect is obtained, and the reduction of the resist stripping rate due to the addition of the heterocyclic compound is reduced.
