Test method of
copper oxide film peeling (tape peeling)

  1. 1Heat on a hot plate for five minutes (280 to 400°C)
  2. 2Hold the adhesive tape at an angle of 180° to the surface and peel it off.
  3. 3Calculate the ratio of copper oxide film transferred to the adhesive tape from the overall area ratio.

Features

  • Contains a new component with higher heat resistance than general copper anti-tarnish agents (benzotriazole).
  • Forms a dense monomolecular film that has a high affinity for copper.
  • The formation of monomolecular film acheives both wire bondability and solderability.
  • Copper oxide film peeling resistance comparable to conventional silver potassium cyanide (PSC) additive type.
  • In addition to the above properties, it is also highly resistant to moisture and heat discoloration.

Main applications

  • IC lead frames
  • Copper bonding wires
  • Conductive copper paste
  • Copper bump joints
