Description

Composite ink for laser-induced selective copper metallization and process method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of selective metallization, in particular to a composite ink for laser-induced selective copper metallization and a process method.
Background
Conductive ink has important roles and roles in the fields of printing electronics, flexible electronics, energy sources, medical treatment and the like. Among the existing conductive inks, metallic copper-based conductive inks are attracting attention due to their excellent conductivity and extremely low cost. However, the inherent oxidation-prone nature of copper places many limitations on conventional thermal sintering processes. Therefore, the laser-based unsteady state induction sintering method is widely focused by academia and industry due to the advantages of no mask, high flexibility, high precision and non-contact, and the copper-based ink suitable for laser-induced metallization also becomes a research hot spot.
In the prior art, copper-based inks suitable for laser-induced metallization mainly include copper ion inks, copper oxide nanoparticle inks, copper nanoparticle inks. Although remarkable research results have been achieved, these solutions still have some problems: (1) The existing copper ion ink has optical absorption peaks in ultraviolet band and 600-700 nm red light band, which puts special requirements on laser light source and rear end optical element. The ultraviolet band laser needs nonlinear frequency multiplication generation, has low conversion efficiency, and is extremely easy to cause etching phenomena of a product and a substrate due to high photon energy of the ultraviolet band. And the red light wave band of 600 nm-700 nm lacks a mature high-performance laser source and a rear end beam shaping, focusing and scanning module. (2) For copper ion ink, the inherent content of copper in copper salt and the restriction of solubility of organic copper salt in solvent lead to lower copper content of copper organic decomposition ink, and the mass loss generated in the decomposition process of the ink, the product is thinner, only hundreds of nanometers, so that the preparation of metal copper products with the height of a plurality of micrometers is difficult to realize, and the macroscopic resistance of the products is severely limited. (3) The existing copper nanoparticle ink is extremely easy to oxidize in the storage and use processes of the copper nanoparticle ink due to the higher activity of the nano copper, so that the cost of the copper nanoparticle ink is higher, the laser-induced metal copper loses the cost advantage relative to the conductive silver paste, and the formed copper surface oxide layer seriously influences the conductivity of a copper film or a copper conductive circuit. (4) The existing copper oxide ink mostly depends on ethylene glycol which is difficult to volatilize as a reducing agent, and under the action of laser, the ethylene glycol can be subjected to local high temperature to generate bumping, so that a large number of holes are generated in a product, the porosity of the product is 10% -30%, a large number of holes exist in the product, the resistivity of the product is usually higher than that of massive copper by 2 orders of magnitude, and the product has no application prospect.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the invention provides a composite ink for laser-induced selective copper metallization and a process method thereof, which are used for solving the problems that in the existing conductive ink, in the process of preparing a metallic copper product by adopting laser direct writing, a substrate and a product are easy to etch, and the preparation of the metallic copper product with a height of a plurality of micrometers is difficult to realize.
The technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
in a first aspect, the invention provides a method for preparing a composite ink for laser-induced selective copper metallization, comprising the steps of:
s1, mixing self-reducing copper salt, long alkyl primary amine and volatile organic solvent to prepare copper ion ink;
S2, mixing the copper ion ink, copper oxide particles and polyvinylpyrrolidone to prepare the composite ink.
In the invention, in the step S1, self-reducing copper salt is decomposed and reduced into metallic copper under the action of laser, long alkyl primary amine is used as a complexing agent, and the copper ion reduction nucleation process can be regulated and controlled, so that the copper particles are smaller in particle size and more uniform in distribution. In the step S2, copper ions are reduced and nucleated to generate particles under the induction of near infrared laser by introducing copper oxide nano particles and copper ion ink for compounding, and then the particles are fused and filled into pores among the copper oxide particles, so that the porosity of a product is reduced, and the conductivity is improved; meanwhile, the forbidden bandwidth (about 1.2 eV) of copper oxide in the composite ink system is matched with the wavelength (1000 nm-1100 nm) of the near infrared laser light source, so that the composite ink has strong absorption in the wavelength range, is beneficial to further improving the energy coupling efficiency of laser and substances, improves the processing efficiency and avoids damaging the substrate. The polyvinylpyrrolidone is used as a dispersing agent of the copper oxide nano particles, hydrophilic groups in molecules are adsorbed on the surfaces of the copper oxide particles, hydrophobic groups extend to a solvent, and the particle agglomeration is prevented by the steric hindrance, so that the dispersing and stabilizing effects are achieved. Simultaneously, under the action of laser, polyvinylpyrrolidone can be used as a reducing agent of copper oxide particles. The volatile organic solvent is used as the solvent of the composite ink, can be completely removed by heating before laser processing, avoids micro-explosion of the solvent during laser processing, and reduces the porosity of the product.
Based on the technical scheme, preferably, the mol ratio of the self-reducing copper salt to the long alkyl primary amine is 1:1.5-2.5, and the concentration of copper ions in the copper ion ink is 1-5mol/L.
By adjusting the mole ratio (1:1.5-2.5) of the self-reducing copper salt and the long alkyl primary amine, the complexing degree of copper ions can be optimized, so that not only can enough copper sources be ensured, but also the reduction nucleation process can be controlled, and the metallic copper product with excellent performance can be obtained. The concentration of copper ions is selected to be in the range of 1-5mol/L, and the concentration is high enough, so that the deposition rate of metallic copper and the thickness of a product are improved; however, the concentration should not be too high, which would affect the stability and fluidity of the ink.
On the basis of the technical scheme, preferably, the self-reducing copper salt comprises copper formate or copper glyoxylate, and the long alkyl primary amine comprises one or more of organic primary amines with the alkyl chain length of more than or equal to 5; the volatile organic solvent comprises a volatile alcohol solvent with a boiling point less than or equal to 85 ℃.
In the invention, long alkyl primary amine with the alkyl chain length more than or equal to 5 is used as a complexing agent, and the long alkyl primary amine and copper ions form coordination bonds to generate a relatively stable copper-amine complex, so that the coordination strength is moderate, copper ions can be effectively complexed, and the complex is not excessively stable to cause difficult reduction. The long alkyl chain in the long alkyl primary amine has a steric hindrance effect, and the reduction nucleation speed of copper ions can be controlled. When the copper ions are reduced, long chain alkyl groups form a protective layer around the copper cores, which prevents further growth of the copper cores, thereby obtaining copper nanoparticles with smaller size and more uniform distribution.
On the basis of the technical scheme, preferably, the preparation method of the self-reducing copper salt comprises the following steps: mixing copper metal salt solution and reducing carboxylic acid solution, reacting for 6-12h at 24-28 ℃, and removing solvent to obtain self-reducing copper salt, wherein the pH value of the reducing carboxylic acid solution is 6-8.
Specifically, copper metal salt is dissolved in deionized water to form copper metal salt solution, and reductive carboxylic acid is dissolved in deionized water to form reductive carboxylic acid solution, and the pH value of the reductive carboxylic acid solution is adjusted to 6-8 by using 15-25 wt% of sodium hydroxide solution. The pH of the solution of the reducing carboxylic acid is controlled within a neutral range of 6-8. On the one hand, the neutral environment is favorable for the dissolution and reaction of copper salt; on the other hand, too high a pH value affects the stability of the self-reducing copper salt. On the basis of the technical scheme, preferably, the concentration of the copper metal salt solution is 0.5-1mol/L, and the copper metal salt solution comprises one or more of a copper sulfate solution, a copper nitrate solution and a copper chloride solution; the concentration of the reducing carboxylic acid solution is 1-2mol/L, and the reducing carboxylic acid solution comprises formic acid solution and/or glyoxylic acid solution.
Both formic acid and glyoxylic acid have reducing properties, and they are self-reducing with copper salts formed from copper ions and are capable of self-decomposing under heating to produce metallic copper. On the basis of the technical scheme, preferably, the copper oxide particles are spherical and/or flaky, and the particle size of the copper oxide particles is 20 nm-2 mu m.
Specifically, under near infrared laser irradiation, copper ions are reduced and nucleated to form nano-scale copper particles, and filled into pores among the copper oxide particles in a molten state. The ink prepared by the spherical copper oxide nano particle morphology has better fluidity, and the flaky copper oxide nano particle ink has better conductivity. The particle size range of 20 nm-2 mu m is selected, so that good balance can be achieved in the aspects of cost, dispersibility, optical property, filling effect, rheological property and the like. When the particle size is too small (< 20 nm), the nano particles are easy to agglomerate, the preparation process is complex and difficult, and the cost is high; when the particle diameter is too large (> 2 μm), the particle diameter of the particles becomes large, the specific surface area is reduced, the reduction efficiency is lowered, and the rheological property and the coating quality of the ink may be affected, which is difficult to apply to high-precision application scenes.
On the basis of the technical scheme, preferably, in the composite ink, the copper ion ink is 20-70%, the copper oxide particles are 20-60% and the polyvinylpyrrolidone is 10-20% in percentage by mass.
The higher content of the copper oxide particles is beneficial to improving the copper element content in the ink, reducing the volume shrinkage and the mass loss during laser induction, but the excessively high content leads to the enhancement of the interaction force among the particles, the increase of the viscosity of the ink, the poor fluidity and the disadvantage of obtaining a uniform and flat coating by printing.
The polyvinylpyrrolidone plays roles of a copper oxide dispersing agent and a reducing agent in the ink, the too high polyvinylpyrrolidone content can cause the reduction of copper element content and the waste of polyvinylpyrrolidone, and the too low polyvinylpyrrolidone content can cause the deterioration of copper oxide nano-particle dispersibility, the easy agglomeration of particles and the insufficient laser-induced reduction.
The copper ion ink content is one of the sources of copper in the ink and determines the copper element content. And at the same time, as a main liquid phase component in the ink, determines the fluidity of the ink. Too low a copper ion ink content causes deterioration in ink fluidity. Meanwhile, the copper element in the copper ion ink is far lower than copper oxide particles, so that the copper element content in the ink is reduced due to the excessively high copper ion ink content.
In a second aspect, the invention provides a composite ink prepared by the preparation method described in any one of the above.
In a third aspect, the invention provides the use of a composite ink for the preparation of a selective copper metallization product, the preparation method comprising the steps of:
A1, uniformly forming a film on a target substrate by adopting a solution forming technology, and performing pre-baking to remove an organic solvent, wherein the pre-baking parameter is 60-80 ℃ for 5-15 min; the solution forming technique includes: solution forming methods such as spin coating, drop coating, dip coating, ink jet printing, screen printing and the like; the substrate material can be silicon wafer, quartz wafer, sapphire wafer, polyimide, soda lime glass and the like;
And A2, performing patterning direct writing on the ink film by adopting a laser induction method to induce the decomposition, reduction and sintering of the ink, and then performing cleaning and development to obtain a patterned selective copper metallization product. For heat sensitive substrates, the product after washing development can be used directly. For high temperature resistant substrates, the present invention can further improve product chemistry, porosity, and conductivity by a subsequent heat treatment. Wherein, the later heat treatment specifically comprises: carrying out the subsequent heat treatment on the metallic copper product obtained after the cleaning and developing in a specific atmosphere environment; the special atmosphere environment is an atmosphere environment of argon, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon-hydrogen mixed gas, nitrogen-hydrogen mixed gas and the like; the heat treatment temperature is 300-400 ℃, and the heat treatment time is more than or equal to 10min.
According to the copper ion and copper oxide composite ink system, gaps among copper oxide particles are filled through copper ion reduction, nucleation, growth and laser-induced melting effects; the copper element content is greatly improved by introducing copper oxide particles, and finally, the preparation of the metal copper product with high wire height, low porosity and high conductivity is realized. The method realizes the uniform coating and film forming of the printing ink by a solution forming technology, and then directly writes conductive copper metallization patterns on the printing ink film by utilizing the selective reduction and sintering effect induced by laser. The method is simple to operate, does not need a mask, can realize the rapid and flexible preparation of the copper metallization pattern, and has higher resolution and selectivity. Meanwhile, the invention can also directly form a pattern by a patterning printing means, and the pattern is directly scanned during laser-induced reduction, so that the waste of ink is reduced. The invention has wide application prospect in the fields of flexible electronics, printed electronics and the like.
On the basis of the above technical solution, preferably, in step A2, the parameters of the laser induction method specifically include: the laser center wavelength is the near infrared band of 1000 nm-1100 nm, the laser pulse width is more than or equal to 100fs, the repetition frequency is more than or equal to 500KHz, the laser power is more than or equal to 50mW, and the scanning speed is more than or equal to 1mm/s. The laser pulse width and the laser repetition frequency which are too small can cause the laser single pulse energy to be too high and the peak power to be too high, so that the generated copper product is etched under the action of a plurality of laser pulses, and the low pulse width and the low repetition frequency are not beneficial to the temperature accumulation at the laser focus and the ink decomposition. The scanning speed lower than 1mm/s is low in efficiency and has no practical significance, and the laser power is insufficient to realize good laser-induced reduction sintering at the scanning speed of more than or equal to 1mm/s.
The forbidden bandwidth of copper oxide in the composite ink system is about 1.2eV, and the corresponding photon energy is matched with near infrared laser with the wavelength of 1000-1100 nm. The energy band structure matching can obviously improve the absorption efficiency of the ink to near infrared light, promote the transition of electrons between a valence band and a conduction band, thereby accelerating the generation of photo-generated carriers and the photo-thermal conversion process, improving the efficiency of laser induced reduction and sintering, reducing the light energy loss, reducing the energy permeation to a substrate and avoiding the damage to the substrate.

(1) According to the copper ion and copper oxide composite ink system, gaps among copper oxide particles are filled through copper ion reduction, nucleation, growth and laser-induced melting effects; the copper element content is greatly improved through the introduction of copper oxide particles, and finally, the preparation of a metal copper product with high wire height, low porosity and high conductivity is realized;
(2) Primary amine complexing agents with long alkyl chains are adopted to regulate the reduction nucleation process of copper ions, so that the particle size of the copper ions is smaller and more uniform, the melting under the action of laser is facilitated, and the filling action of the copper ions on pores is enhanced;
(3) Copper oxide is adopted as solid phase particles to be introduced into the copper ion ink, and compared with copper nano particles, the method has the advantages of low cost and easiness in storage and transportation;
(4) The composite ink system of the invention has strong absorption in the wavelength range because the forbidden bandwidth of copper oxide (about 1.2 eV) is matched with the wavelength (1000 nm-1100 nm) of the main stream near infrared laser light source, thereby being beneficial to further improving the energy coupling efficiency of laser and substances, improving the processing efficiency and avoiding damaging the substrate;
(5) According to the invention, the reducing agent and the solvent system in the existing printing ink are optimized, so that the use of a high-boiling point solvent and the reducing agent is avoided, the volatile solvent is removed through a pre-baking process, the micro-explosion phenomenon of the focal position in laser processing is relieved, and the porosity in the product is greatly reduced.
