Description

Optimization process and device for insoluble anodic acidic sulfate electroplated copper Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of copper electroplating processes, and particularly relates to an optimization process and device for insoluble anode acid sulfate copper electroplating.
Background
Copper electroplating is one of the most common processes in the electroplating industry. Generally, to plate nickel, gold, silver, tin metal layers on the surfaces of various metal pieces, an intermediate copper layer is needed to be plated in advance to improve the bonding force of the outer surface plating layers; in addition, copper metal plating processes are also common in the circuit board industry in manufacturing processes.
The existing acid sulfate copper plating process is a plating process using sulfuric acid and copper sulfate as main components of a plating solution thereof, and can be divided into two different processes according to a soluble anode and an insoluble anode. The soluble anode copper electroplating process adopts phosphor copper as a soluble anode material; the insoluble anode copper plating process refers to an electroplating process in which the anode does not generate or generates little dissolution in the electroplating reaction process, namely, an insoluble anode material is adopted, and an insoluble titanium-based coating anode is commonly adopted in the prior art.
The anodic electrochemical reaction formulas of the two acid sulfate copper electroplating processes are as follows:
(1) Soluble anode copper electroplating process
Cu-2e - →Cu 2+
(2) Insoluble anode copper electroplating process
Compared with the soluble anode copper electroplating process, the insoluble anode copper electroplating process generates hydrogen ions and oxygen by the electrolytic reaction of water on the anode, copper ions in the electroplating solution are reduced to metallic copper at the cathode, and the cathode plating piece is electroplated with a more uniform, flat and compact copper metal plating layer due to the stable anode external dimension and controllable and stable electroplating solution component state in the electroplating process; besides direct current plating, the insoluble anode copper plating process can be applied to pulse plating, and the production efficiency can be greatly improved by increasing the anode current density.
Meanwhile, as technological development has been fully advanced into 5G electrical communication in recent years, demands of the market for precision circuit boards are increasing, wherein demands for aspect ratio values of copper plated through holes (i.e., hole length to hole diameter ratio of through holes) in multilayer circuit boards are also increasing, so that an insoluble anodic copper plating process has been promoted in the current circuit board processing production to improve the production quality and production efficiency of copper plating of circuit board products.
When double-sided electroplating is carried out on a circuit board with a larger aspect ratio value of a copper plated through hole, the cathode plating piece is converted into an electrolytic anode copper dissolving reaction by utilizing the back pulse of a power supply in the existing insoluble anode copper electroplating process; therefore, the uniformity and flatness of the plating layer can be optimized, the dispersion capacity of the plating solution can be improved, the binding force of the plating layer can be improved, and the copper plating layer with the through holes can be well penetrated.
However, the existing insoluble anode copper plating process still has the following disadvantages:
1. oxygen bubbles are generated on the anode in the electroplating process and can be distributed between the anode and the cathode plating piece, so that a barrier for blocking electroplating current is formed, the uniformity of discharge is affected, and the uniformity of a plating layer is reduced. Meanwhile, oxygen bubbles generated in the electroplating process in the conventional vertical electroplating process can form a bubble layer with a certain gradient from bottom to top on the surface of the anode, so that current is further unevenly distributed, and the quality of a plated part in vertical electroplating is seriously affected.
Aiming at the problem of vertical electroplating, the solution of the prior art adopts a horizontal electroplating mode, so that the influence caused by blocking a barrier by a bubble layer is reduced to the greatest extent, but the horizontal electroplating equipment has more complicated structure and very limited space in an electroplating bath, so that the plated part can only be a thin plate generally and cannot meet the electroplated copper production of products with different external dimensions.
2. In the reverse pulse electroplating process, when the original insoluble anode is converted into a cathode under the action of reverse pulse, the polarity conversion of the insoluble anode can enable the surface of the insoluble anode to generate hydrogen evolution reaction, so that titanium oxide on the surface of a titanium substrate of the insoluble titanium-based coating anode is changed into titanium hydride, and the coating of the insoluble anode is fallen to cause anode damage.
3. In the existing insoluble anode copper electroplating process, an organic electroplating additive, namely a brightening additive, is usually required to be added into a plating solution so as to enable a plated part to obtain a smoother and cleaner plating layer. The anode used in the insoluble anode copper plating process is coated with a noble metal coating on the surface, and the coating has a catalytic effect on the decomposition reaction of the electroplating additive and can directly decompose the electroplating additive in the plating solution. In addition, some nascent oxidants accelerate the decomposition and destruction of plating additives when the insoluble anode is subjected to acidic copper plating operations. Therefore, the existing insoluble anode is used in the electrolytic copper plating process, and the consumption of the electroplating additive is far greater than the normal consumption in the soluble anode electrolytic copper plating process. The plating additive is additionally consumed resulting in increased production costs.
In view of the foregoing, although insoluble anodes have advantages of flat plating and high efficiency over soluble anodes in electrolytic copper plating processes, there is still a need for process optimization.
Disclosure of Invention
The first object of the present invention is to provide an optimized process for insoluble anodic acidic sulfate copper plating, which can effectively improve the uniformity of a copper layer plated on a plated article and improve the plating quality.
The second object of the present invention is to provide an optimizing apparatus for insoluble anodic acidic sulfate electrolytic copper plating.
The first object of the invention is achieved by the following technical scheme:
an optimization process of insoluble anode acid sulfate electroplated copper comprises an electroplating bath, an electroplating power supply, an insoluble anode and an acid sulfate copper plating electroplating solution as an electroplating solution, wherein the electroplating part is used as a cathode, and the optimization process is characterized in that:
(1) Adopting a plate-shaped insoluble anode which is made of titanium material covered with a coating and is net-shaped or provided with a hollowed-out structure, and then installing the insoluble anode and the cathode in a plating bath; at least one liquid suction pipe/port is additionally arranged on the side of the insoluble anode, which is opposite to the cathode, so that the electroplating liquid can flow in an overflow or/and electric liquid suction mode through the liquid suction pipe/port;
(2) And (3) switching on an electroplating power supply to carry out electroplating production operation, and sucking the electroplating liquid through overflow of the liquid suction pipe/port or/and in a power mode, so that the electroplating liquid in the electroplating tank forms liquid flow flowing to the liquid suction pipe/port, and correspondingly, adding the electroplating liquid into the electroplating tank to maintain the amount of the electroplating liquid in the electroplating tank until the electroplating is completed and the plated piece is taken out.
The insoluble anode adopts a reticular or hollowed-out plate-shaped structure, so that the insoluble anode is provided with holes with two through sides, and is matched with at least one liquid suction pipe/port arranged on the side of the anode facing away from the cathode, and liquid near the insoluble anode generates liquid flow far away from the cathode and passing through the holes of the anode in a overflowing and/or power mode, so that oxygen bubbles generated on the surface of the anode in the electroplating process can pass through holes formed by meshes or hollowed-out structures of the insoluble anode along with the liquid flow, and are discharged and released by a region between the anode and a cathode plating piece, thereby being beneficial to reducing the accumulation of oxygen on the surface of the side of the anode facing the cathode in the electroplating process to form an oxygen bubble shielding layer, and further improving the electroplating uniformity and the electroplating efficiency of the plating piece.
Preferably, the pipette/port uses a motive force to create a flow of liquid near the insoluble anode away from the cathode and through the anode aperture, the motive force being a pump that pressurizes the drain and/or negative pressure pipette.
The re-addition of the plating solution into the plating tank to maintain the plating solution amount in the plating tank may be a new plating solution or a plating replacement solution, or may be a reflux system.
The reflux system adopted by the invention mainly comprises a pump and a connecting pipeline, one end of the reflux system is connected with a liquid suction pipe/port, the other end of the reflux system is communicated with the electroplating bath, and electroplating liquid sucked by the liquid suction pipe/port is refluxed into the electroplating bath by the reflux system, so that liquid flow of the electroplating liquid in the electroplating bath to the liquid suction pipe/port at the anode is formed, and the reflux system is circulated and reciprocated. The reflux system can be constructed by connecting a connecting pipe to the plating tank on the basis of the liquid near the insoluble anode being pumped by the above-mentioned pipette/port to generate a flow of liquid away from the cathode and through the pores of the anode.
The method is applicable to vertical plating and horizontal plating; can be matched with a common direct current power supply or a back pulse power supply. Particularly, when the method is applied to vertical electroplating, the technical problem that an oxygen bubble forms a current blocking shielding layer on the surface of the anode facing the cathode in the prior art can be effectively solved, so that the insoluble anode can realize good electroplating effect in vertical electroplating equipment with simple structure and easy maintenance.
The invention can be improved as follows:
the side of the insoluble anode facing the cathode is additionally provided with at least one liquid spraying pipe/port, the liquid spraying pipe/port is connected with an externally connected liquid spraying pipeline and is used for spraying liquid towards the anode, and the liquid spraying pipe/port is matched with the liquid sucking pipe/port to generate more stable and controllable liquid flow far away from the cathode near the insoluble anode, so that bubbles generated on the anode in the electroplating process can smoothly pass through a pore of the insoluble anode to leave an area between the anode and a cathode plating piece, and the liquid spraying pipeline is a pipeline with a pump, the other end of the pipeline is communicated with a container filled with electroplating liquid, and continuous electroplating liquid is provided for the liquid spraying of the liquid spraying pipe/port.
Preferably, the liquid spraying pipe/opening is arranged at the bottom of the electroplating bath on the side of the insoluble anode facing the cathode, so that the liquid spraying pipe/opening and the liquid sucking pipe/opening are matched to generate liquid flow from bottom to top, bubbles generated on the anode are sucked away from the cathode as soon as possible through the pores of the insoluble anode, and meanwhile, the phenomenon that the current distribution of the electroplating liquid is influenced due to the fact that the electroplating liquid in the area between the anode and the cathode plating piece generates vortex is avoided.
The invention can also adopt the improvement of the feed structure of the insoluble anode, and a feed circuit is preferably arranged at two sides of the horizontal side of the insoluble anode, so that the current density difference between the upper part and the lower part of the insoluble anode is reduced, and the conductivity of the gas-liquid mixture between the gas-evolving electrode and the cathode region tends to be uniform. The method overcomes the defect that the electroplating current distribution of the electroplating solution is extremely uneven because the upper part of the anode is more concentrated with the electroanalysis bubbles due to the higher current density than the lower part of the anode in the upper feeding mode.
The invention can further add a gas-liquid separator in the reflux pipe system, so that the liquid suction pipe discharges the gas-liquid mixture fluid sucked from the electroplating bath into the gas-liquid separator through a connecting pipeline. The gas-liquid separator is a device which leads oxygen bubbles generated on the anode in the electroplating process and electroplating liquid to be drained into a larger space, so that the flow rate of the liquid is slowed down and gas in the liquid escapes. The gas-liquid mixture is separated in the gas-liquid separator to release gas, and then the liquid is led back to the electroplating tank again for circulating flow.
Preferably, the oxygen separated out in the gas-liquid separator is collected and reused.
The plating tank may be divided into two regions, namely an anode plating tank region and a cathode plating tank region, by a plating tank separator, and the plating solutions in the two plating tank regions may be the same or different. Namely, the electroplating solution in the anode electroplating bath area is anode electroplating solution, in particular to aqueous solution containing inorganic acid and/or inorganic salt, or acidic sulfate copper plating electroplating solution is adopted; the plating solution in the cathode plating bath zone is an acidic sulfate copper plating solution. In the electroplating process, the insoluble anode and the cathode plating piece are respectively arranged in the anode electroplating bath area and the cathode electroplating bath area in a separated mode. In this preferred embodiment, the pipette/port described in the present invention is disposed in the anode plating bath zone, since the bubbles are only present in the anode bath zone between the two electrodes, and a flow of liquid is only generated in the anode bath zone away from the cathode and through the anode aperture. If a liquid spraying pipe/opening is further arranged on the side of the insoluble anode facing the cathode, the liquid spraying pipe/opening is also positioned in the anode plating bath area.
The plating bath separator is used for separating oxygen and hydroxyl radicals generated on the anode from the plating solution in the area near the cathode plating piece so as to reduce the possibility that the oxygen and hydroxyl radicals enter the acidic copper plating solution near the cathode plating piece to chemically react with the plating additive, thereby reducing the extra loss of the plating additive in the acidic copper plating solution. Meanwhile, the concentrated pumping and exhausting of oxygen generated on the surface of the anode in the electroplating process are facilitated.
Preferably, the plating bath separator is at least one selected from the group consisting of a cation exchange membrane, an anion exchange membrane, a bipolar membrane, a reverse osmosis membrane, a filter cloth, an ultrafiltration membrane, a ceramic filter plate, and a PE filter plate.
When the cation exchange membrane is selected as the plating bath separator, with the progress of electrochemical reaction, copper ions of the acidic sulfate copper plating bath in the cathode plating bath region are reduced to metallic copper on the surface of the cathode plating member, and cations in the plating bath in the anode plating bath region enter the cathode plating bath region through the plating bath separator.
When the plating bath separator is an anion exchange membrane, with the progress of electrochemical reaction, copper ions of the acid sulfate copper plating bath in the cathode plating bath region are reduced to metallic copper on the surface of the cathode plating member, and at the same time anions of the acid sulfate copper plating bath in the cathode plating bath region enter the anode plating bath region through the plating bath separator.
When the ultrafiltration membrane and/or the ceramic filter plate and/or the PE filter plate and/or the filter cloth are/is selected for the electroplating bath partition, along with the progress of electrochemical reaction, copper ions of the acidic sulfate copper plating electroplating solution in the cathode electroplating bath region are reduced to metallic copper on the surface of a cathode plating part, meanwhile, part of cations in the electroplating solution in the anode electroplating bath region can enter the cathode electroplating bath region through small holes of the electroplating bath partition, and part of anions of the acidic sulfate copper plating electroplating solution in the cathode electroplating bath region can also enter the anode electroplating bath region through small holes of the electroplating bath partition.
When the bipolar membrane is independently selected as the plating bath separator, along with the progress of electrochemical reaction, copper ions of the acidic sulfate copper plating solution in the cathode plating bath region are reduced to metallic copper on the surface of the cathode plating piece, and meanwhile, the bipolar membrane generates hydrogen ions through the electrolytic reaction of water and enters the cathode plating bath region.
When the reverse osmosis membrane is selected as the plating bath separator, the copper ions of the acidic sulfate copper plating solution in the cathode plating bath area are reduced to metallic copper on the surface of the cathode plating member as the electrochemical reaction proceeds. If hydrogen ions are present in the plating solution in the anodic plating bath section, the hydrogen ions also pass through the plating bath partition into the cathodic plating bath section.
Preferably, the anodic plating solution is a solution of sulfuric acid and/or copper sulfate. More preferably, the anodic plating solution is a sulfuric acid solution.
When the gas-liquid separator is additionally arranged in the reflux pipe system, the liquid suction pipe/port discharges the gas-liquid mixture fluid sucked from the anode plating bath area into the gas-liquid separator through the connecting pipeline, and after the gas-liquid mixture is separated in the gas-liquid separator to release gas, the liquid of the gas-liquid mixture is led back to the anode plating bath area again to circularly flow.
As an improved embodiment of the present invention, the anode plating tank zone is in the form of an anode box and is installed in the plating tank to separate the anode plating tank zone and the cathode plating tank zone, which is specifically: the anode box is in a cubic box shape, the insoluble anode is positioned in the anode box, the surface of the anode box facing the cathode plating piece is a plating bath partition, the internal space of the anode box is an anode plating bath area, and the space in the plating bath and outside the anode box is a cathode plating bath area. In this preferred embodiment, the pipette/port according to the invention is arranged on the anode cartridge, in particular in the spatial position or cartridge wall of the side of the insoluble anode facing away from the cathode; in addition, a liquid spray pipe/port can be arranged in the anode box, and the liquid spray pipe/port is particularly positioned in the area between the side of the insoluble anode facing the cathode and the adjacent box wall in the anode box. Preferably, the liquid ejected from the liquid ejecting pipe/port in the anode box is taken from the liquid in the gas-liquid separator.
Preferably, the periphery of the anode box, which faces the cathode, is provided with a liquid spraying pipe for spraying electroplating liquid to the cathode, so that the electroplating liquid can flow into the deep part of the holes of the cathode plating piece, and the electroplating liquid in the holes can be updated in a supplementing manner, thereby improving the electroplating quality of the deep part of the holes of the plating piece.
More preferably, when a plurality of anode boxes are arranged, the spraying action of the liquid spraying pipe outside the anode boxes is controlled by a program according to time and/or flow, and the time difference and/or the flow difference are used for avoiding the mutual opposite collision of liquid flows sprayed by the anode boxes at the two sides of the cathode plating piece at the same time, so that the optimization of the plating solution filling effect is realized.
The invention can also be provided with a back pulse protection screen on the insoluble anode, wherein the back pulse protection screen is in any electrode structure form which is favorable for discharging, such as uncoated titanium bulges or raised meshes, strips and the like, arranged on the surface of the anode facing the cathode, and is directly connected with the titanium substrate of the insoluble anode. The shape of the bulge can be a convex point shape, a spike shape and a vertical strip shape; the raised net and the raised strip can be net or strip fixed on the support leg end of the anode facing the cathode, or net or strip formed by connecting the upper part of any raised object, and the plane formed by the net or strip is parallel or basically parallel to the anode surface.
The structure of the insoluble anode is modified in a targeted way, and when the reverse pulse power supply is adopted as an electroplating process, the process quality advantage of the insoluble anode can be effectively exerted. The principle of the anti-pulse protection screen is that titanium has unidirectional conduction threshold metal characteristics in the electrochemical reaction of electrolyte water solution, namely when the exposed titanium metal of the anti-pulse protection screen is used as an anode to carry out the electrochemical reaction of the electrolyte water solution, an oxide layer is generated on the surface of the titanium metal and is difficult to participate in the electrochemical reaction, but the titanium metal can normally participate in the discharge when being used as a cathode to carry out the electrochemical reaction, so that the anti-pulse protection screen hardly participates in the reaction when being used as an anode to carry out the electrochemical reaction of electroplating, but the titanium anode body coated with the coating carries out the main electrochemical reaction of electroplating; however, when the original plating piece is converted into anode for electrolytic copper dissolution after the reverse pulse pole-changing phase of the power supply, the insoluble anode is converted into cathode, and the reverse pulse protection screen participates in electrochemical reaction for discharging. Because the back pulse protection screen protrudes from the surface of the insoluble anode and is closer to the cathode plating piece in distance, according to the electric field potential difference principle, the back pulse protection screen can more effectively attract electroplating current and lead main current to flow from the titanium base material in the insoluble anode after passing through the back pulse protection screen. The hydrogen evolution reaction will occur directly on the back pulse protection screen rather than primarily on the surface of the insoluble anode coating as in the prior art. Therefore, the back pulse protection screen can effectively reduce electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction on the surface of the insoluble anode coating, thereby effectively prolonging the service life of the insoluble anode. When the back pulse protection screen is provided with protrusions, the more the protrusions are, the more uniformly distributed the protrusions are, and the better the protection effect on the insoluble anode coating is.
The invention can further add the setting frame at the edge of the insoluble anode, and the insoluble anode is connected with the setting frame, which is helpful for enhancing the straight mechanical rigidity of the insoluble anode and reducing the influence of discharge non-uniformity caused by anode deformation. The thickness of the shaping frame is larger than the thickness of the insoluble anode and/or the width of the shaping frame is larger than the width of the non-porous part of the insoluble anode and/or the mechanical rigidity of the shaping frame is higher than the mechanical rigidity of the insoluble anode and/or the mechanical rigidity of the insoluble anode is reinforced by a stable structure.
The shaping frame can be made of any material which is positive, insoluble, heat-resistant, acid-resistant and high in rigidity.
When the insoluble anode is provided with the back pulse protection screen and the shaping frame is made of bare titanium or coated titanium, the back pulse protection screen can be independently connected with the titanium of the shaping frame or simultaneously connected with the titanium of the shaping frame except for the scheme of directly connecting with the titanium base material of the insoluble anode. As the thicker electric conductor has smaller resistance, the shaping frame in the preferred scheme can lead the whole current of the insoluble anode to be reasonably distributed during electroplating, and can lead the main current to be led into the shaping frame for bypass in the reverse pulse electrolysis process, thereby further protecting the surface coating of the insoluble anode.
Preferably, the shaping frame is made of conductive material, and the shaping frame is connected with the positive electrode of the electroplating power supply through the titanium substrate of the insoluble anode, or is simultaneously connected with the titanium substrate of the insoluble anode and the positive electrode of the electroplating power supply, or is connected with the positive electrode of the reverse pulse electroplating power supply.
More preferably, the shaping frame is made of bare titanium, and the shaping frame is connected with the positive electrode of the electroplating power supply through the titanium substrate of the insoluble anode, or is connected with the titanium substrate of the insoluble anode and the positive electrode of the electroplating power supply at the same time, or is connected with the positive electrode of the reverse pulse electroplating power supply, so that the insoluble anode can be combined for improving the feed structure.
The invention can be improved as follows: and adding a supplementary solution or electroplating raw material into the electroplating tank according to the analysis result of the component concentration of the electroplating solution in the electroplating process so as to maintain the stability of the proportion of each component in the electroplating solution.
The invention can be improved as follows: the electroplating bath can be directly connected with the electroplating liquid regeneration device or connected with the electroplating liquid regeneration device through the transfer bath to form a controllable recycling system arranged according to the process, and the controllable recycling system is used for supplementing an electroplating copper source, so that the environment-friendly clean production is realized, and the production cost is reduced.
The invention can be improved as follows: the side of the insoluble anode, which is opposite to the cathode, is connected with a conductor communicated with the anode of the electroplating power supply, and the bypass current of the conductor is utilized to increase the uniformity of discharge during the insoluble anode electroplating, so that the electroplating quality of a plated piece is improved. The electric conductor can be a conductive plate or a conductive net, and meanwhile, the conductive plate or the conductive net is connected with the shaping frame, so that the insoluble anode can be discharged more uniformly during electroplating.
Preferably, the conductive plate is an uncoated titanium plate with a net-shaped or hollow structure, or the conductive net is an uncoated titanium net.
The invention can be further changed into that the back pulse protection screen is arranged on the electric conductor, and then the back pulse protection screen passes through meshes or hollow structures of the insoluble anode to extend out of the surface of the insoluble anode towards the cathode. The method comprises the following two connection modes:
the anti-pulse protection screen is welded with a titanium substrate of an anode when passing through the insoluble anode, and can shunt anti-pulse current along a conductor and the titanium substrate of the insoluble anode respectively through a protruding part during electroplating so as to reduce hydrogen evolution phenomenon on the insoluble anode.
The anti-pulse protection screen net does not conduct electricity when passing through the insoluble anode, and current passing through the insoluble anode can be reduced when in anti-pulse electroplating, so that hydrogen evolution phenomenon is further reduced.
Preferably, the back pulse protection screen is not connected with the insoluble anode in a conductive way, and the insoluble anode and/or the shaping frame are/is connected with the conductive plate or the conductive screen by welding through a titanium plate or a titanium screen.
More preferably, the shaping frame is welded with the conductive plate or the conductive net by using a titanium plate or a titanium net for peripheral edge sealing. This allows the insoluble anode to draw a more uniform current during electroplating and allows the main current to be shunted through the reverse pulse guard net, the sizing frame and/or the conductive plate (net) as the insoluble anode is turned to the cathode during reverse pulse operation, further reducing the hydrogen evolution reaction of the insoluble anode.
The invention can be improved by installing at least one liquid suction pipe/port on the side of the conducting plate or the conducting net facing away from the cathode when the insoluble anode is provided with the back pulse protection screen net, the shaping frame and the conducting plate or the conducting net; the insoluble anode and the conductive plate or the conductive net are connected by sealing edges between the two through a shaping frame made of titanium plate materials, so that the main liquid flow of the liquid spraying pipe/port carries the bubbles separated by the anode and can intensively pass through the through holes on the insoluble anode and the through holes on the conductive plate or the conductive net behind the insoluble anode, and the bubbles are pushed into the liquid spraying pipe/port to be sucked and flow out.
Preferably, the insoluble anode with the back pulse protection net, the shaping frame, the electric conductor and the insoluble anode assembly of the liquid suction pipe/port and the liquid spraying pipe/port are installed in the anode box to be used as an anode groove zone box type assembly.

TABLE-1
TABLE-2
As can be seen from Table-1 above, the quality of the plated layers obtained by electroplating in examples 1 to 15 of the present invention and comparative examples 1 to 2 of the prior art were compared: the three-point (upper, middle, lower) thickness data measured for the plating layers obtained in examples 1-15 were more average and superior to comparative example 1. Wherein, in examples 2-13, the shaping frame or the conductor playing the role of a feeder line and the connection point thereof are arranged, the overall thickness of the plating layer obtained by electroplating is consistent, and the surface is flat and small Kong Dutong is consistent. In comparative examples 1 and 2, the plating solution was affected by bubbles during the plating operation, and the plating surface was rough and uneven in thickness, and the plating through in the pinholes was also unsatisfactory. Thus, the plating layer obtained by the process is more uniform and smoother, and the through hole penetrating quality is higher. After the invention improves the insoluble anode copper plating process of gassing, the plating quality can be effectively improved, and the requirements of the plating industry on high-quality products can be met.
As can be seen from Table-1 above, examples 4 to 10, examples 12 to 13, and example 15 of the present invention, which also employ a reverse pulse plating power supply, were compared with comparative examples 1 to 2 of the prior art as anode coating conditions: the insoluble anodes of the embodiments 4 to 10, the embodiments 12 to 13 and the embodiment 15 are all provided with the back pulse protection screen, wherein the insoluble anode coating is complete and does not fall off after the electroplating operation of the embodiments 4 to 10 and the embodiments 12 to 13 is finished, and the upper position of the insoluble anode coating slightly falls off after the electroplating operation is finished due to the lack of a bypass design in the embodiment 15; the insoluble anodes of comparative examples 1 and 2 were free of the back pulse protection screen to protect the insoluble anode coating, and the coating was significantly removed by light brushing with a brush after the plating operation was completed. Therefore, when the insoluble anode is provided with the reverse pulse protection screen, the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction on the surface of the insoluble anode coating can be effectively reduced, so that the service life of the insoluble anode is prolonged.
Since the electroplating additive used in the industry is an organic compound, the consumption condition can be correspondingly reflected by the change of the COD value of the electroplating solution, namely, the faster the COD value of the electroplating solution is reduced, the faster the consumption speed of the electroplating additive in the electroplating solution is indicated. As can be seen from Table-2 above, examples 9 and 10 in which the plating tank of the invention was provided with the plating tank separator were compared with comparative example 1, and examples 1 and 4 in which the plating tank separator was not provided in the plating tank: the COD values of the cathode plating solutions measured before and after the plating operation in example 9 and example 10 were different by not more than 80mg/L, respectively, which proves that the loss of the plating additive was small. The COD values of the plating solutions measured before and after the plating operation in comparative example 1, example 1 and example 4 were each different by 200mg/L or more, indicating that the amount of the plating additive loss was large. It has been demonstrated that the plating bath of the present invention provides effective savings in the use of plating additives when a plating bath divider is provided.
Further, comparative example 1 of the prior art is most similar to the basic arrangement of examples 9 and 10 of the present invention. However, examples 9 and 10 were superior to comparative example 1 in terms of plating uniformity, pinhole plating, anode coating state, and consumption of plating additive.
The present invention may be summarized in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The above-described embodiments of the present invention are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments according to the essential technology of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.
