Yoshihiko Morikawa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7189336
    Abstract: An etchant and a method for roughening a copper surface each capable of permitting copper with roughened surface which exhibits acid resistance and permits a copper conductive pattern and an outer layer material to be firmly bonded to each other therethrough in manufacturing of a printed wiring board to simplify the manufacturing. The etchant may contain an oxo acid such as sulfuric acid, peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide and an auxiliary component such as an azole and chlorine. The azole may comprise benzotriazole (BTA). The chlorine may be in the form of sodium chloride (NaCl). The etchant permits a copper surface to be roughened in an acicular manner.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6902626
    Abstract: A liquid etchant and a method for roughening a copper surface each capable of providing copper with a roughened surface increased in acid resistance regardless of a chlorine ion in a short period of time, to thereby ensure firm adhesion between a copper conductive pattern and an outer layer material during manufacturing of a printed circuit board, resulting in the manufacturing being highly simplified. The liquid etchant includes a main component containing an oxo acid such as sulfuric acid and a peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide. Also, the liquid etchant includes an auxiliary component containing a tetrazole such as 5-aminotetrazole or the like, or a 1,2,3-azole. The liquid etchant permits a copper surface to be roughened in an acicular manner.
