2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the problems to be solved by the invention
As a method of forming a circuit pattern by using a laser beam on the surface of a synthetic resin molded product, for example, a metal film having a sufficient thickness as a conductive circuit is previously formed on the surface of the molded product, and a metal film other than the conductive circuit is formed by a laser beam. A method in which the conductive circuit is directly removed by being scattered and removed by the method described in JP-A-64-833.
No. 91), but in this method, the thickness of the conductor metal layer is a relatively thick layer (for example, 10
It is necessary to increase the output of the laser light when removing unnecessary portions of the metal layer with the laser light, so that the synthetic resin molding of the base is damaged and the appearance shape is remarkably increased. However, there is a problem in that the insulation is obstructed, and the synthetic resin is carbonized to impair the insulating property. Therefore, a method has been considered in which a metal thin film is formed on the surface of the molded product, the metal thin film in a portion other than the conductive circuit portion is removed to form a circuit pattern, and electroplating is performed to form a conductive circuit. According to this method, since the output of the laser beam is reduced and irradiation is performed, the synthetic resin is not carbonized and there is no problem of insulation. However, conventionally, in this method, the removal width of the metal thin film by the laser beam is less than 100 μm, so When a conductive circuit is formed to a desired thickness by a subsequent electroplating process, plating may grow on the portion where the metal thin film has been removed, causing a problem that the conductive circuit is short-circuited.

The method of the present invention will be described below step by step. The material of the synthetic resin molded product used in the present invention may be either a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin material as long as it is a synthetic resin capable of firmly adhering a metal thin film, but such molded product is later soldered. Considering that it is subjected to severe processing such as processing, it is desirable that it has high heat resistance and excellent mechanical strength, and in terms of mass production, a thermoplastic resin that is injection moldable is preferable.

Next, a metal coating process is performed on the surface of this molded product to form a metal thin film. The thickness of the metal thin film provided here is particularly important. If it is too thick, a laser beam with a strong output is required for forming a circuit pattern by a laser beam in the next step, which causes damage to the base molded article as described above. Therefore, it is not preferable. On the other hand, if it is too thin, the processability of electroplating is hindered in the step of forming a metal layer having a sufficient thickness as a conductive circuit by electroplating, which is not preferable. From this point of view, the thickness of the metal thin film applied to the surface of the substrate molded article is 0.2 to 2 μm, preferably 0.3 to
It is 1 μm. If the thickness is within such a range, the circuit pattern formation by the laser beam can be accurately performed with a comparatively weak output without causing damage to the base molded product, and to the extent necessary for electroplating for the final circuit formation. Is preferable because it maintains the conductivity. As a method for forming such a metal film, any conventionally known method such as chemical plating, sputtering, vacuum deposition, ion plating, transfer method, conductive agent coating and the like may be used, but in order to form a uniform metal thin film. Chemical plating (electroless plating), sputtering, vacuum deposition, and ion plating are suitable.

Next, a synthetic resin molded article having a metal thin film formed on its surface is irradiated with a laser beam whose output and laser spot diameter are appropriately adjusted to the portion to be an insulating circuit or the contour line portion of the portion to be an insulating circuit. The metal thin film in the part is selectively removed. The spot diameter of the laser used here and the width of the metal thin film to be removed are particularly important. If the width of the metal thin film to be removed is too narrow, the problem of short-circuiting the conductive circuit portion due to electroplating in the next step is not preferable. Therefore, it is preferable that the width of the metal thin film to be removed is wide as long as it does not hinder the circuit formation. However, when using a laser beam with a laser spot diameter smaller than 50 μm, the metal thin film has a width wider than the spot diameter because the energy density is high. Although it is removed, it is impossible to remove a metal thin film having a sufficient width with one irradiation, and therefore the number of times of irradiation becomes too large and the laser irradiation time becomes long, resulting in poor productivity and uneconomical. But also. Also, the energy of the laser may deteriorate the resin. On the other hand, in the case of irradiating with a laser beam having a laser spot diameter larger than 500 μm, the energy required for removing the metal thin film cannot be secured because the energy density is low, and there is a problem that the metal thin film remains. From this viewpoint, the spot diameter of the laser beam used to remove the metal thin film is 50 to 500.
μm, preferably 150 to 250 μm. Also, if the width of the thin metal film to be removed is wider than 500 μm, laser light with a spot diameter of 500 μm is irradiated multiple times, and the outline of the insulating part is irradiated with laser light with a smaller spot diameter. The width of the metal thin film removed should be 500μ or less because the circuit accuracy is higher when the method described above is used.
From this point of view, the width of the metal thin film to be removed is 100-500 μm
And preferably 150 to 250 μm. The width within this range is preferable because electroplating does not short-circuit the conductive circuit, and the laser irradiation time is shortened to improve productivity. As described above, according to the present invention, by specifying the thickness of the metal thin film and the laser spot diameter, the synthetic resin molded article as the base is not damaged, and
A circuit pattern having a width of μm is formed, and the laser irradiation time is shortened by electroplating without short-circuiting the conductive circuit, thereby improving productivity.

The laser light for irradiating the metal thin film is Y
A predetermined circuit pattern such as an AG laser or a carbon dioxide laser is selectively irradiated by a laser marker having a scanning mechanism in XY directions controlled by a computer. If it is necessary to form a circuit in a complicated three-dimensional molded product, the laser light should be guided in a three-dimensional direction by an optical fiber, prism, etc., and computer-controlled to accurately irradiate a predetermined area three-dimensionally. You can Or XYZ directions that move in synchronization with a laser marker having a scanning mechanism in XY directions and a computer,
It is also possible to irradiate three-dimensionally by combining a 5-axis table of rotation and inclination. Further, according to this method, the creation and modification of the pattern can be easily performed only by changing the drawing program in the laser irradiation area. Further, since it is difficult to irradiate laser light while changing the spot diameter and varying the spot diameter within the same process, if you want to mix several removal widths of the metal thin film, move the Z axis to change the focus position of the laser. It can be performed by a method of displacing the laser to increase the laser spot diameter, or a method of irradiating the laser at a position where it partially overlaps a plurality of times.

Next, the synthetic resin molded product having a circuit pattern formed of a metal thin film may be used as it is as a circuit component if possible depending on the purpose of use. At the point, or at the point of damage and disconnection due to friction during use, etc.
Thin film circuits of less than m are often inconvenient and generally require a thickness of at least 10 μm or more. Therefore, in the present invention, the portion of the circuit pattern that becomes the conductive circuit is further electroplated to obtain a desired thickness (for example, 10
˜100 μm) with a metal layer to form the desired conductive circuit. A general electroplating method can be applied to the addition of the metal layer because the already formed circuit pattern has a conductivity that allows electroplating.
