Abstract

A method for forming an antenna structure is provided, including the following steps of: providing a non-conductive frame and disposing a plating resist material on the non-conductive frame, removing a part of the plating resist material within a predetermined region on the non-conductive frame and forming a roughened surface on the non-conductive frame within the predetermined region by laser marking, forming a medium layer on the roughened surface, wherein the medium layer comprises Pd or Ag, removing the plating resist material on the non-conductive frame, and forming a metal layer on the medium layer.

Claims (17)

1. A method for forming an antenna structure, comprising:

providing a non-conductive frame and disposing a plating resist material on the non-conductive frame;

removing a part of the plating resist material within a predetermined region on the non-conductive frame and forming a roughened surface on the non-conductive frame within the predetermined region by laser marking;

forming a medium layer on the roughened surface, wherein the medium layer comprises Pd;

removing the plating resist material on the non-conductive frame; and

forming a metal layer on the medium layer.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal layer is formed on the medium layer by electroless deposition.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the medium layer comprises Pb/Sn colloid or AgNO 3 .

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plating resist material comprises resin.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the non-conductive frame is immersed in the plating resist material to form a resist layer on the non-conductive frame.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plating resist material is sprayed on the non-conductive frame to form a resist layer on the non-conductive frame.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plating resist material is daubed on the non-conductive frame to form a resist layer on the non-conductive frame.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal layer comprises Cu.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal layer comprises Ni.

10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the non-conductive frame comprises plastic material integrally formed by injection molding.

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plating resist material is removed after forming the metal layer on the medium layer.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plating resist material is removed before forming the metal layer on the medium layer.
