The low charging-retaining moisture barrier film of electrostatic screenTechnical field
The present invention relates to low charging-retaining moisture barrier film as the electrostatic screen of package.
Technical background
The electrostatic screen film is used to make the package of various electronic components.These films protect these electronic components not to be subjected to the influence of electrostatic field and voltage usually.As time goes on, electronic component has become more and more to electrostatic potential and electric current sensitivity.In addition, along with the allowable tolerance of electronic component is more and more harsher, also more and more important by the tolerance variation that corrosion causes.
For example, the read/write head of disc driver rapidly rotates on the spinning disk with magnetization coating and the variation of magnetic flux is read as data.When these read/write heads are responsive more to the variation of magnetic flux, on disk, can store more data.Recently, disk drive industry begins to replace the sensed data read head with magnetic hysteresis resistance (MR) and huge magnetic hysteresis resistance (GMR) read head.These read heads than former read head to big several times of the sensitivity of magnetic flux.Compare with the sensed data read head, the MR/GMR read head uses thin conductor and insulator.This structure makes these read heads responsive more to transient current.
One of such transient current is exactly human body with inevitably originating usually.Electrostatic charge accumulates on the health by triboelectrification.By static discharge, the dynamic release of the electric charge of storage can produce appreciable electric current and energy.Discharging electric charge from human body can be simulated by resistance (R/C) network with 1500 Ohmic resistances and 100 micromicrofarad electric capacity.Such R/C network can produce the voltage more than 15000 volts.The test shows of MR read head, this device will make that changing appears inresistance 35 volts the time only discharging.What is more important is 23 milliamperes and energy is 9 millimicro joules (10 at electric current-9) time, the magnetic fault threshold also is 35 volts.Device produces fusing and scar then takes place when discharge charge is about 80 volts.Therefore it is just more and more important these devices to be increased electrostatic protection.
Along with product becomes more and more littler and more and more thinner, it is more and more important that the corrosion of electronic component also becomes.Corrosion is particularly important for the MR read head.Because the MR read head is more responsive to magnetic flux, so they can rapidly rotate near on the distance of product more.Because the MR read head can rapidly rotate near on the distance of product more, reduce in the space that is used for stored information.Distance between read head and the dish can be less than 0.05 micron.Along with the development of technology, this distance further reduces.Because corrosion has changed dimensional tolerance between the parts, therefore the corrosion that limits on the electronic component with strict form tolerance becomes more and more important.
The corrosion of the great majority of electronic component is the function of the quantity of the moisture that contacts of material and steam.In manufacture process, can take some step from package, to get rid of steam by introducing dry air.Yet steam moist in transportation may pass package.
In the manufacturing of MR/GR read head and installation process, can observe the destruction of taking similar method to avoid the transient current that static discharge causes usually.All working surfaces have all been got rid of static, and what pay particular attention to is that the flow of charge of different resistance materials is controlled.But MR read head and similarly comparatively responsive electronic component must transport.For example, the MR read head is transported to the place that read head is assembled from the manufacturing location of read head usually with the device that comprises the MR read head, arrives final driver assembling place then.In the process of transportation MR read head, other electronic component is influenced by static discharge and steam.For the protection of height is provided, these materials should shield electrostatic charges for these products, avoid electric charge to keep and prevent that steam from passing material.
Product of the prior art does not provide enough static and moisture protection.Disclose internal layer electrostatic material, the first metal layer, single thin layer, second metal level among about patent US4699830 that licensed to Mr.White on the 13rd in 1987 10 and be positioned at thin layer transparent wear on the outer surface of thin-film material.This material is transparent.In order to make material transparent, metal level must be thin especially, and each metal layer thickness is on the 20 dust orders of magnitude.The metal material of this thickness can't provide enough protection to resist the outside voltage that surpasses 1000 volts.In addition, need enough thin metal that the moisture function can not be provided with the formation transparent material.At last, enough thin metal being made transparent most realistic method is deposited on these metals on the plastic sheeting by CVD method exactly.As disclosed in the patent of White, it is very difficult and expensive depositing on two surfaces of a single thin film with CVD method.
Another one attempts to solve that the patent of moisture and certain electrostatic protection is provided is to license to the patent US4971196 of Kitamura November 20 nineteen ninety.This patent disclosure three embodiment, one of them embodiment is relevant especially.The structure of this embodiment is the polyethylene that comprises internal layer; this internal layer has the antistatic layer that is connected on the aluminium foil thin layer; this aluminium foil thin layer is connected on the polyester thin layer conversely; and then connect the conductive plastics layer add carbon, on adding the conductive plastics layer of carbon, this connects the protective layer of non-conductive acrylic-type at last.This material has several problems.Although aluminium foil and polymeric layer can provide limited moisture and electrostatic screen, its outer field polymeric layer will keep electric charge.This electric charge keeps and may cause static discharge from package when electronic component takes out and destroy electronic component in the package.And because moisture and electrostatic protection all realized by single layer, this layer any pierces through, pin hole and other defect all will weaken its protective effect.In addition, metal forming is more expensive and be difficult to handle than spray metal polymer.
