This is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 10/765,041, filed Jan. 28, 2004.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a lubricant sheet for drilling which, when a hole is made in a laminate or a plastic board, is disposed on a surface of the laminate or the plastic board, and a drilling method using the above lubricant sheet for drilling. A penetration hole obtained by using the above lubricant sheet for drilling in the production of a printed wiring board is suitably used mainly as a through hole of a printed wiring board such as a semiconductor plastic package or a mother board. Further, the lubricant sheet for drilling, provided by the present invention, can be applied to other precise drilling applications, e.g., application of drilling a hard plastic board such as a spectacle lens.
PRIOR ARTS OF THE INVENTIONConventionally, an aluminum sheet is used as an entry sheet for drilling a laminate, used for a printed wiring board, with a metal drill. In a high-density printed wiring board used for a semiconductor plastic package or the like, in recent years, the diameter of a through hole is becoming smaller and smaller and printed wiring boards having a minimum through hole diameter of 0.15 mm φ or less are increasing. When such a small-diameter hole is made using an aluminum entry sheet alone, there are problems that the life of a drill is short, that the roughness of a hole wall is large and that hole-location accuracy is poor. For this reason, a lubricant sheet for drilling, obtained by forming a lubricant resin layer on one surface of a metal foil such as aluminum, is used for extending the life of a drill, improving the hole-location accuracy and improving the roughness of a hole wall. For example, JP-A-5-169400publication proposes a lubricant sheet obtainable by forming a lubricant resin composition layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 3.0 mm on one surface of a metal foil. The hue of the above lubricant resin composition layer is a natural color. For this reason, when the thickness of the lubricant resin layer is small, it is difficult to distinguish both surfaces of the lubricant sheet from each other so that it is difficult to judge which surface should be brought into contact with a laminate or a plastic board. The above difficulty causes problems such as a mistake of placing the lubricant sheet reversely or a decrease in the quality of a hole. Further, when a small-diameter drill, particularly a drill having a diameter of 0.1 mm or less, is used, there arise problems that the drill is apt to break.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is an object of the present invention to provide a lubricant sheet capable of overcoming a problem of poor hole quality caused by a mistake of placing the lubricant sheet reversely.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a lubricant sheet capable of preventing any drill breakage occurring when a small-diameter drill is used.
According to the present invention, there is provided a lubricant sheet for drilling, comprising a metal foil or an organic film, and a lubricant resin composition layer or a primer layer and the lubricant resin composition layer, the lubricant resin composition layer or the primer layer and the lubricant resin composition layer being formed on at least one surface of the metal foil or the organic film, wherein at least one layer of the primer layer and the lubricant resin composition layer contains a colorant.
According to the present invention, further, there is provided a lubricant sheet for drilling according to the above lubricant sheet, wherein the organic film has roughness of 0.5 to 15 μm on a surface thereof and a distance between convex portions of the roughness is 1 to 50 μm.
According to the present invention, furthermore, there is provided a method of drilling a laminate or a plastic board, which method comprises disposing a lubricant sheet for drilling on the laminate or the plastic board and drilling a hole from a lubricant resin composition layer side.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONIn the present invention, the term “laminate” refers to a plastic board having an insulating layer for a printed board, and the above term includes a plastic board further having a conductor layer in addition to the insulating layer. The term “plastic board” refers to a plate-like article formed of a composition containing an organic polymer compound as a main component and includes a plate-like article which has a glass substrate or an inorganic filler.
Concerning a lubricant sheet for drilling obtained by forming a lubricant resin composition layer or a primer layer and a lubricant resin composition layer on at least one surface of a metal foil or an organic film, the present invention makes both surfaces of the lubricant sheet apparently distinguishable from each other by incorporating a colorant, preferably a nonhalogen colorant, into at least one layer of the primer layer and the lubricant resin layer and thus the present invention prevents a mistake placement of the lubricant sheet at the time of drilling. Further, the incorporation of the nonhalogen colorant can provide an environmentally friendly lubricant sheet for drilling. In addition, it is preferred to use a water-soluble resin in the lubricant resin composition, since the lubricant resin composition can be easily removed when it adheres to a laminate or a plastic board. In this case, it is also preferred to use a water-soluble colorant as the colorant.
Further, concerning a lubricant sheet obtained by forming a lubricant resin composition layer or a primer layer and a lubricant resin composition layer on at least one surface of an organic film, the present invention prevents any drill breakage and improves hole-location accuracy by providing the organic film with a roughness having a predetermined size.
Furthermore, the present invention considerably improves hole-location accuracy by controlling the size of an air bubble contained in the lubricant resin composition layer of the lubricant sheet.
The lubricant resin composition used in the lubricant sheet of the present invention can be selected from known resin compositions used for a resin composition of a lubricant sheet for drilling. Examples thereof include a water-soluble resin, a thermoplastic resin, a thermosetting resin and a mixture of a lubricant and any one of these resins, etc. These may be used alone or in combination. A lubricant resin composition containing a water-soluble resin as a main component is preferably used. The above water-soluble resin can be easily removed by washing with hot water when it remains in a penetration hole during drilling, so that a hole excellent in reliability can be obtained.
A variety of additives may be added to the lubricant resin composition. For example, a variety of organic or inorganic fillers may be added depending upon a purpose as required.
Preferable examples of the water-soluble resin used in the lubricant resin composition of the present invention include polyethylene oxide, polypropylene glycol, polypropylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carboxymethyl cellulose, polytetramethylene glycol, polyether ester, etc. These may be used alone or in combination.
Preferable examples of the thermoplastic resin used in the lubricant resin composition of the present invention include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyester, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polycarbonate, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyalylate, polyether ether ketone, polyphenylene sulfide, etc. These thermoplastic resins may be used alone or in combination.
Preferable examples of the thermosetting resin used in the lubricant resin composition of the present invention include a phenol resin, an epoxy resin, a melamine resin, a urea resin, an acrylic resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, a polyurethane resin, an alkyd resin, a silicon resin, a cyanate ester resin, a maleimide resin, etc. These thermosetting resins may be used alone or in combination.
Preferable examples of a water-soluble lubricant used in the lubricant resin composition of the present invention include monoethers of polyoxyethylene such as polyethylene glycol, polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, polyoxyethylene cetyl ether, polyoxyethylene stearyl ether, polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, polyoxyethylene dodecyl ether, polyoxyethylene nonyl ether and polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether, esters of polyoxyethylene such as polyoxyethylene monolaurate, polyoxyethylene monostearate and polyoxyethylene monoolate, monoester of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, polyglycerin monostearates such as hexaglycerin monostearate and decaglycerin monostearate, a polyoxyethylene propylene block polymer, etc. These may be used alone or in combination.
Examples of a water-insoluble lubricant used in the lubricant resin composition of the present invention include amide compounds such as ethylenebisstearamide, oleic acid amide, stearic acid amide and methylenebisstearamide, fatty acid compounds such as lauric acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid, fatty acid ester compounds such as butyl stearate, butyl oleate and glycol laurate, aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds such as liquid paraffin and polyethylene wax, and higher aliphatic alcohols such as oleic alcohol, etc. These may be used alone or in combination.
The method of producing the lubricant sheet for drilling, provided by the present invention, by forming a lubricant resin composition layer of the above lubricant resin composition on a metal foil or an organic film is not specially limited. The above method can be selected from generally known methods. For example, there may be adopted a method in which the lubricant resin composition is kneaded with a kneader, etc., without a solvent at a high temperature, the kneaded resin composition is extruded to prepare a sheet, and the sheet is pressed on a metal foil or organic film, to produce a lubricant sheet for drilling, and a method in which the lubricant resin composition is dissolved in a solvent or water to prepare a coating composition, the coating composition is applied to a surface of a metal foil or organic film, and the applied coating composition is dried to produce a lubricant sheet for drilling. The thickness of the lubricant resin composition layer is not specially limited, while it is preferably 5 to 100 μm. The lubricant resin composition layer may be formed on each surface of the metal foil or organic film. When the resin layers are formed on both surfaces of the metal foil, for example, a hard resin for preventing burrs is disposed on a surface which is a drilling target material side and a soft resin containing a lubricant is disposed on the other surface which is a drill side. In this manner, it is possible to make the resins on both the surfaces play different roles. When the above type lubricant sheet is used, the distinguishment between both surfaces is particularly important.
When adhesion between the metal foil or the organic film and the lubricant resin composition is insufficient, a primer layer which is generally formed of a thermosetting resin or a thermoplastic resin and has a thickness of preferably 0.5 to 15 μm is formed on a metal foil or organic film surface for improving the adhesion strength. The method of forming the primer layer on the metal foil or organic film surface is not specially limited. It can be selected from known methods. For example, there may be adopted a method in which a primer resin with no solvent or a coating composition obtained by dissolving a primer resin in a solvent is applied to a metal foil or organic film surface and it was dried to form a primer layer, or a method in which the above coating composition is directly sprayed on a metal foil or organic film surface. In the present invention, when the lubricant sheet has a primer layer, it is preferred to add a colorant into the primer layer in order to apparently distinguish both surface of the lubricant sheet from each other. In this case, it is also possible to add a colorant into the lubricant resin layer, which is formed on the primer layer.
The colorant used in the present invention can be selected from generally known organic and inorganic pigments and organic and inorganic dyes. Specifically, the organic pigments include azo pigments such as lake red, hansa yellow, β-naphthol, naphthol AS, benzimidazolone, disazo yellow and pyrazolone, phthalocyanine, quinacridone, dioxazine, perylene, thioindigo, anthanthrone, isoindolin, isoindolinone, indanthrene, quinophtharone, metal complex, pyrrolopyrrole, phthalocyanine green, copper phthalocyanine blue, nickel phthalocyanine blue, aluminum phthalocyanine blue, alkali blue, sky blue, iron blue, ultramarine blue, indigo, monoazo yellow, benzimidazolone yellow and anthraquinone yellow. These colorants may be used alone or in combination for achieving an intended hue.
The organic dye is preferably an edible coloring matter. Most of the edible coloring matters are water-soluble and have an extremely low toxicity so that the edible coloring matters are preferred in view of these features. Specifically, the edible coloring matter includes yellow coloring matters, red coloring matters and blue coloring matters. The yellow coloring matters include 1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid, 4,5-dihydro-5-oxy-1-(4-sulfonyl)-4-[(4-sulfonyl)azo]-trisodium salt (Yellow color No.4), 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfonyl)azo]-disodium salt (Yellow color No.5), etc. The red coloring matters include 2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-sulfo-1-naphthalene)azo]-trisodium salt (Red color No.2), spiro-[isobenzofuran-1(3H),9′-[9H]xanthone]-3-one-3′,6′-dihydroxy-2′,4′,5′,7′-tetraiod-disodium salt (Red color No.3), 6-hydroxy-5-[(2-methoxy-5-methyl-4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid disodium salt (Red color No.40), 1,3-naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 7-hydroxy-8-[(4-sulfo-1-naphthalene)azo]-trisodium salt (Red color No.102), spiro-[isobenzofuran-1(3H),9′-[9H]xanthene]-3-one-2′,4′,5′,7′-tetrabrom-4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-3′,6′-dihydroxy-disodium salt (Red color No.104) and spiro-[isobenzofuran-1(3H),9′-[9H]xanthene]-3-one-4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-3′,6′-dihydroxy-2′,4′,5′,7′-tetraiod-dipotassium salt (Red color No.105), etc. The blue coloring matters include benzenemethanaminium, N-ethyl-N-[4-[[4-[ethyl[(3-sulphenyl)methyl]amino]phenyl](2-sulfophenyl)methylene]-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-iridine]-3-sulfo-hydroxide inner salt-disodium salt (Blue color No.1), 1H-indole-5-sulfonic acid, 2-(1,3-dihydroxy-3-oxo-5-sulfo-2H-indole-2-iridine)-2,3-dihydro-3-oxo-disodium salt, etc. These colorants may be a halogen-containing colorant or a nonhalogen colorant. In view of environment, colorants containing no halogen are preferable. Further, the colorant is preferably a water-soluble colorant, since the water-soluble colorant can be removed by washing with hot water when it remains in a hole portion. The amount of the colorant is not specially limited. The amount of the colorant in the lubricant resin composition is preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight.
The inorganic pigments include titanium oxide, etc. Of course, mixtures of the organic pigments and the inorganic pigments can be used. Further, known dyes can be used.
A combination of the lubricant resin composition and the colorant is not specially limited. Specifically, examples thereof include (1) a method in which the lubricant resin is a water-insoluble resin and the colorant is a water-soluble or water-insoluble colorant, (2) a method in which the lubricant resin is a water-soluble resin and the colorant is a water-soluble or water-insoluble colorant and (3) a method in which the lubricant resin is a mixture of water-soluble or water-insoluble resins and the colorant is a water-soluble or water-insoluble colorant.
A combination of the primer resin and the colorant is not specially limited. Specifically, examples thereof include (1) a method in which the primer resin is a water-insoluble resin and the colorant is a water-soluble or water-insoluble colorant, (2) a method in which the primer resin is a water-soluble resin and the colorant is a water-soluble or water-insoluble colorant, (3) a method in which the primer resin is a mixture of water-soluble or water-insoluble resins and the colorant is a water-soluble or water-insoluble colorant, and (4) a method in which the primer resin itself is a colored resin.
Concerning a lubricant sheet in which the lubricant resin composition layer in formed on a metal foil, a combination of a water-soluble resin and a water-soluble colorant is preferred in view of recovery and recycle of the metal foil after use. In the present invention, the term “nonhalogen” refers to a compound of which each of the content of chlorine and the content of bromine is respectively 0.09% (900 ppm) or lower according to the measurement method described in JPCA Standard (JPCA-ES-01-1999).
The method of mixing the above pigment or the dye with the lubricant resin composition or the primer resin may be a known method. As the pigment, a pigment having fine particles is used, and the pigment is dispersed or dissolved in the lubricant resin composition, the primer resin, a solvent or the like. The dye is dissolved or dispersed in a solvent and/or water and then the resultant solution or dispersion is added to the lubricant resin composition or the primer resin. Otherwise, the dye is directly dispersed or dissolved in the lubricant resin composition or the primer resin.
The metal foil on which the lubricant resin composition layer is to be formed can be selected from known metal foils used as a metal foil of a lubricant sheet for drilling. Specifically, there may be used a hard aluminum, a soft aluminum, an annealed aluminum, a high-purity aluminum, nickel, copper, etc., and alloys of these. Preferably, there is used a hard, soft or annealed aluminum foil having a thickness of 50 to 500 μm, more preferably 80 to 200 μm, or an aluminum foil which is obtained by combining these foils and has a thickness of 50 to 500 μm, more preferably 80 to 200 μm. The metal foil may be surface-treated by a primer treatment. Further, there is preferably used a metal foil whose surface is provided with a roughness of 0.5 to 3 μm by a known method such as a physical or chemical treatment.
The organic film on which the lubricant resin composition layer is to be formed is not specially limited so long as it is a polymer compound which itself can be molded into a film. Specifically, examples thereof include polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, polycarbonate, etc., and a mixture of at least two of these polymer compounds. These polymer compounds are properly selected and used, as required, depending upon a required hole-processing step in consideration of heat resistance, water-solubility, stickiness, drilling-processability, handling ability, etc. The thickness of the organic film is preferably 50 to 500 μm, more preferably 80 to 200 μm. The surface roughness degree of the organic film is as follows. The distance between convex portions is 1 to 50 μm, preferably 3 to 30 μm. Further, a roughness in depth direction is 0.5 to 15 μm, preferably 1 to 3 μm. The lubricant resin composition layer is formed on at least one surface of the above organic film having roughness. When the organic film is transparent, it is difficult to distinguish both surfaces of the lubricant film from each other, so that colorants different from each other are respectively added to the lubricant resin composition layer and the organic film.
The lubricant sheet for drilling of the present invention is disposed on at least the top surface of laminate(s) or plastic board(s) and holes are drilled from the lubricant resin composition layer side of the lubricant sheet.

In regard to the lubricant sheet using a water-soluble resin, even when the resin adheres to a hole wall, the resin can be easily removed by washing with water in a subsequent step. An entry sheet having industrially high practicality can be obtained.
According to the colored lubricant sheet for drilling, provided by the present invention, the distinguishment between both surfaces thereof becomes easy, so that poor hole quality caused by a mistake of disposing the lubricant sheet reversely can be prevented.
According to the lubricant sheet for drilling in which the resin composition layer is formed on the organic film having roughness, provided by the present invention, the rate of drill breakage is improved largely and holes excellent in hole-location accuracy, etc., can be obtained.
EXAMPLESThe present invention will be explained concretely with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples hereinafter, in which “part” stands for “part by weight”.
Example 11 part of a blue water-soluble dye (edible coloring matter blue No.1), which did not contain a halogen, was added to 35 parts of a polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight of 500,000 and 65 parts of a polyglycerin monostearate having a molecular weight of 900. These were kneaded with a kneader at 130° C. under a nitrogen gas seal for 1 hour, to obtain a mixture having a viscosity of 160,000 poise. The mixture was passed through a heating roll at 130° C. to obtain a blue-colored sheet having a thickness of 0.05 mm.
Separately, 10 parts of a saturated polyester resin having a hydroxyl group at a terminal and having a molecular weight of 20,000 and a melt-viscosity of 800 poise (at 200° C.) and 3 parts of hexamethylene diisocyanate were dissolved in a mixed solvent of toluene/methyl ethyl ketone=3/1, to obtain a solution having a concentration of 10% by weight. The solution was applied to one surface of a hard aluminum foil having a thickness of 100 μm and the applied solution was dried at 100° C. for 1 hour, to form a primer layer having a thickness of 5 μm on the aluminum foil. The above blue-colored sheet was placed on the primer layer of the aluminum foil, and the sheet and the aluminum foil were pressed and integrated with a heating roll, to obtain a lubricant sheet for drilling, of which one surface was colored in blue (both surfaces thereof were apparently distinguishable from each other). Then, two 1.6 mm-thick bismaleimide-cyanate ester resin (BT resin) type copper-clad six-layered boards were stacked. The above lubricant sheet was disposed on the top surface of the stacked boards such that the resin composition layer of the lubricant sheet faced upward, and a 1.6 mm-thick paper phenol laminate was disposed on the lower surface of the stacked six-layered boards.
