Abstract

In this study, electroless plating of copper was performed on PET film by using the blend of supercritical $CO_2$ and plating solution. The optimum volumetric ratio of supercritical fluid and plating solution was found to be 1:9 and dispersion property was poor at $CO_2$ vol% langer than 10%. Electroless plating of copper was best at $25^{\circ}C$ and 15 MPa. Role of added supercritical $CO_2$ is not to increase solubility but to disperse and maintain Cu-particles as the 1st particles.

본 연구는 $CO_2$ 초임계 유체를 도금액과 혼합하여 PET 필름 위에 무전해 구리도금을 실시하였으며 초임계 유체의 혼용조건에 따른 그 도금 효과를 비교하였다. 이산화탄소 초임계 유체와 도금액의 부피비는 1:9가 최적이였으며 초임계 유체가 10 vol% 이상이 되면 혼합액의 분산성이 불량해져 층분리가 발생하였다. 구리 무전해도금은 $25^{\circ}C$, 15 MPa 에서 수행된 구리막의 표면물성이 가장 균일하였다. 무전해 구리도금에서 도금액과 혼합시킨 초임계 유체의 역할은 단순히 용해도를 높여 주는 것이 아니라 도금막을 구성하는 구리입자를 1차 입자상태로 분산, 유지시킴을 확인하였다.
