  • Publication number: 20130175238
    Abstract: This invention relates to an etching solution including hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid, chlorine ions, benzotriazole and pyrazole, and to a method of manufacturing a printed wiring substrate wherein the surface of the metal wiring of the printed wiring substrate is treated with an alkali solution, roughened using the etching solution and then subjected to anti-rust treatment, thus forming porous surface irregularities and micro anchors even with a small etching amount of the metal (Cu) to thereby obtain a high force of adhesion between the metal and an insulating material.

  • Patent number: 7232528
    Abstract: The surface treatment agent for copper and copper alloys contains hydrogen peroxide, a mineral acid, an azole compound, silver ion and a halide ion. The surface treatment agent for copper and copper alloys is useful in the production of printed wiring boards in electronics industry. The surface treatment agent roughens the surface of copper and copper alloys. Particularly, the surface treatment agent can form a uniform and undulation-free roughened surface on copper-clad substrates having plated mirror surface, this having been difficult in conventional techniques, thereby significantly improving the adhesion to etching resists, solder resists, in addition, to prepregs and a resin for mounting electronic parts.

  • Patent number: 5805361
    Abstract: In the process of press molding an optical element having an optical functioning face having a grating which is rotationally asymmetric, both ends of an molding face of an lower press die are cut off to form inclined faces. During a press molding, glass material filled in the cuttings presses the inclined faces so that the rotation of a lower press die in an barrel die around an axis is prevented. In addition, the part filled in the cuttings is used as the reference point to mount on an optical apparatus. As a result, the rotation of the press dies is prevented, and the placement of the rotationally asymmetric optical functioning face is avoided. Therefore, the direction for mounting the optical element on an optical apparatus can be easily decided.
