Notes de l'éditeur
- Thank you for attending today’s webcast, a technical review on 3-D Molded Interconnect Devices
- This is a technical review for electrical and mechanical engineers and project managers involved in designing your next-generation products. We will cover the two processes for producing 3-dimensional molded interconnects; Double-Shot molding and Laser Direct Structuring, with an emphasis on laser direct structuring. We will briefly examine available LDS materials and the fundamental design rules for designing LDS 3D MID. And conclude with application examples employing 3-D MID, from the medical device, automotive, sensors, antenna and RFID fields.
- Three dimensional molded interconnect devices are a method to integrate electronic circuitry and electrical components with injection molded carriers. This process then is used on enclosures to miniaturize assemblies, reduce the bill of material, simplify designs, reduce assembly time and reduce costs of components/assemblies. The double-shot process is illustrated with the disposable insulin pump on the left, where circuitry is constructed by over-molding a plateable polycarbonate/ABS resin grade formed in the shape of the desired circuit, with a non-plateable polycarbonate material forming the chassis. The component is chemically etched and only the PC/ABS blended material is activated by the etchant. The plateable material is activated for plating using a palladium salt solution and the component is plated using an electroless process to complete the formation of the circuitry. The laser direct structuring method is illustrated in the part on the right. A laser is used to scribe circuit patterns onto a three-dimensional single-shot injection molded component. Both processes use an electroless plating process called the SelectConnect Process to metalize the circuit patterns, laying down a layer of electroless copper, electroless nickel, and finally, a layer of immersion gold or electrolytic gold for applications that require thicker layer of gold. It will focus on the LDS method of producing three-dimensional interconnects in this review.
- LDS 3D-MID are comprised of injection molded thermoplastic components overlaid with circuit traces drawn on the three-dimensional part using a laser marking system. The plastic components are made from material doped with organometallic micro-particles. The areas marked by the laser are activated and are plateable using electroless plating chemistry. The circuit traces are drawn on the three-dimensional CAD model as a zero-height surface. A .step file is exported from the CAD system for translation into laser coordinates. The pattern is aligned using optically detected fiducials located on the component or the laser table and the pattern is scanned onto the part using preprogrammed laser parameters appropriate for the type of material.
- The LDS process for producing 3-D MID is about 10 years old. It was developed in Germany by LPKF Laser and Electronics and for the first five or six years was a application looking for problem to solve. The first high volume application employing the LDS method for producing 3-D MID was in the area of cell phone antennas. Historically, antennas were modeled by hand, placing metal foil over forms and the antenna patterns were cut by hand using an Exact-O knife. The test piece was then placed in the RF range for evaluation. A new iteration of the antenna would require repeating this laborious process. Using the LDS process allows changes to be made to the drawing and accurately translated to parts in less time and with a higher degrees of accuracy.
- Today: LDS is a mature, robust technology Cell Phone Antenna production is largest application, with ten’s of millions produced annually Europe is currently experiencing rapid growth in automotive, with BMW taking the lead, medical devices, antennas systems, sensors and RF-ID tags
- The laser source is a 16W diode pumped Neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate (Nd:YVO 4 ) system operating in the near-infrared at 1064 nm with a focused spot size of 65µm. The system uses a high-speed scanner and optical z-axis for the 3D beam delivery with typical positioning speeds in the range of 1 to 4 meters per second. The laser’s interaction with the material surface is two-fold, the beam activates the surface by reducing the organometallic dopant to metal particles and it roughens up the surface providing a texture for mechanical adherence of the metalized layer.
- We often denote the laser’s impact on the material surface as a channel carved out of the material, but recent data for PC/ABS material shows just the opposite. The surface hit by the laser is roughened and raised in columnar fashion some 5 to 25 µm.
- Here is a profile of a circuit after plating.
- In a view from an variable pressure Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), the surface topography is evident.
- In this SEM image a Back-Scattered Electron Detector highlights the metal catalyst additive appearing here as bright spots.
- LDS resolution of 6 mil lines and 8 mil spaces possible, with higher yields from 8 mil lines and 10 mil spaces. 4 mil lines and 6 mil spaces is possible on LCP material.
- Why pursue an LDS 3D-MID strategy? The LDS‘s market drivers are to Reduce: Reduce Size, weight and complexity of assemblies And to reduce Costs – through reduction in number of components, wires, interconnects and assembly time Benefits include improvement in: Reliability Functionality Here we see an example of a newly designed dental cavity detection system that uses LDS components. The new design features a completely self contained hand held laser caries detection system.
- The product has gone from a lunch pail sized electronics package with a tethered laser, to a self contained laser in a hand held device that communicates results wirelessly to a base station.
- A wide range of materials is available and qualified for LDS applications, from commodity materials through engineering resins with both amorphous and semi-crystalline characteristics. A family of high heat nylons, PET, PBT and blends are amenable to lead solder reflow mounting of components and LCP resins will perform with lead-free reflow solders. ====================================================== PET – Polyethylene Terephthalate PBT - Polybutylene Terephthalate PPA – Polyphthalamide PSU – Polysulfone PES – Polyethersulfone HTN – Polyamide PA6/6T- Nylons
- One of the important developments of 3-dimensional circuitry is the efficient use of space with the finest possible structures. When designing components for LDS production, one needs to keep a few basic design rules in mind.
- The areas to be laser activated must remain in the line of sight of the laser beam. The work zone of the laser is an area 160 x 160mm or approximately 6 square inches and the laser has a working distance of approximately 1 inch, which means the laser can focus on a part that has a Z range of height of 1 inch.
- It is possible to lase patterns on all sides of a part by designing a multi-position fixture or a fixture that can rotate parts for multiple passes.
- When positioning the parts in a fixture we have a maximum angle of incidence of the beam impinging on the part of 70 degrees. Angles of incidence exceeding 70° are reduced by rotating the component during laser processing.
- For parts with multiple surfaces with 90 degree angles, the part is mounted at an angle and is rotated to complete the activation.
- Plated through holes are activated using Conical Vias on one or both sides depending on part thickness. Thick walls require an aspect ratio of 2:1, while thinner parts can use simple cones with a 1:1 ratio.
- When designing molds, we must pay attention to the location of walls and ejection pins. Zones to be activated should not directly touch walls Activation area separation for walls with an angle up to 45° should be kept at >150 µm or 6 mil Steeper walls with angles up to about 70° should be separated by 250 µm or greater or 10 mil Ejector pins should be placed to avoid the activation areas
- The plating process consists of electroless plating chemistries, typically starting with a layer of 100 to 250 micro-inches of copper, followed by a 50 to 150 micro inch layer of nickel and an optional thin layer of immersion gold or a gold layer built using electroless gold chemistry that can build a more substantial gold layer. Metal thickness can be customized to meet the needs of the design.
- Let’s take a look at some application examples in the area of: Medical Devices Military / Defense / Aerospace Automotive Electronics Antennas RFID

- Security Shields Are a injection molded enclosure with a layer of delicate and geometrically fine tracks covering the inside of the security housing. The tracks are less than 10 μm thick making it difficult to detect using X-rays. They are designed to protect against conducting and non-conducting drill bits and are resistant to chemical attack. Benefits over other solutions include: • It is simple to attach to the PCB • Fewer assembly steps • The elimination of epoxy potting • The design allows for recovery of PCB for repair, upgrade or data recovery • Housing can be removed without damaging the PCB • And it lends itself to automated assembly processes
