Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein saures Bad zur galvanischen Abscheidung glänzender, duktiler und eingeebneter Kupferüberzüge und die Verwendung dieser Kombination. Das erfindungsgemäße Bad kann sowohl zur Verstärkung der Leiterbahnen von gedruckten Schaltungen als auch auf dem dekorativen Sektor eingesetzt werden.The invention relates to an acid bath for the electrodeposition of shiny, ductile and leveled copper coatings and the use of this combination. The bath according to the invention can be used both to reinforce the conductor tracks of printed circuits and in the decorative sector.
Es ist seit langem bekannt, daß galvanischen Kupferbädern organische Substanzen zugesetzt werden, um glänzende Abscheidungen zu erzielen. Die zahlreichen für diesen Zweck bereits bekannten Verbindungen, wie zum Beispiel Thioharnstoff, Gelatine, Melasse, Kaffee-Extrakt, "basische" Farbstoffe und Thiophosphorsäureester, besitzen jedoch keinerlei praktische Bedeutung mehr, da die Qualität der mit ihnen erhaltenen Kupferüberzüge - besonders bezüglich des gleichmäßigen Aussehens, der Härte und der Bruchelongation - nicht den heutigen Anforderungen entsprechen.It has been known for a long time that organic substances are added to galvanic copper baths in order to achieve shiny deposits. However, the numerous compounds already known for this purpose, such as, for example, thiourea, gelatin, molasses, coffee extract, "basic" dyes and thiophosphoric acid esters, are no longer of any practical importance since the quality of the copper coatings obtained with them - particularly with regard to their uniform appearance , hardness and elongation at break - do not meet today's requirements.
Zum Stand der Technik zählen Bäder, die eine Mischung von sauerstoffhaltigen hochmolekularen Verbindungen mit organischen, insbesondere aromatischen Thioverbindungen (DE-AS 1521062), enthalten. Diese zeigen aber unbefriegende Ergebnisse bezüglich Metallstreuung und/oder Einebnung.The prior art includes baths which contain a mixture of oxygen-containing high-molecular compounds with organic, in particular aromatic thio compounds (DE-AS 1521062). However, these show unimportant results with regard to metal scattering and / or leveling.
Zur Verbesserung wird in der DE-AS 2039831 ein saures Kupferbad beschrieben, das neben einer polymeren sauerstoffhaltigen Verbindung und einer Thioverbindung mit wasserlösliche Gruppe noch mindestens einen Farbstoff aus der Reihe der polymeren Phenazoniumverbindungen gelöst enthält. Weitere Arbeiten beschreiben die Kombination von organischen Thioverbindungen und polymeren sauerstoffhaltigen Verbindungen mit anderen Farbstoffen wie zum Beispiel Kristall-Violett (EP-PS 071512) oder PhthalocyaninDerivaten mit Apo-Safranin (DE-PS 3420999) oder eine Kombination mit Amiden (DE-PS 2746938).For improvement, DE-AS 2039831 describes an acidic copper bath which, in addition to a polymeric oxygen-containing compound and a thio compound with a water-soluble group, also contains at least one dye from the series of polymeric phenazonium compounds in solution. Further work describes the combination of organic thio compounds and polymeric oxygen-containing compounds with other dyes such as crystal violet (EP-PS 071512) or phthalocyanine derivatives with aposafranine (DE-PS 3420999) or a combination with amides (DE-PS 2746938) .
Nachteilig bei der Verwendung üblicher sauerstoffhaltiger hochmolekularer Verbindungen ist die Stabilität im Elektrolyten. Bei normaler Anwendung Zersetzen sich diese genannten Verbindungen während der Elektrolyse langsam zur wasserunlöslichen Polymeren, die sich immer mehr im Elektrolyten anreichern, an den Wandungen als Gallerte ausrahmen und schließlich auf der Ware selbst ablagern, so daß die Ware mit Fehlstellen behaftet und so unbrauchbar wird. Diese Zersetzung wird extrem verstärkt, wenn die Badtemperatur über 28 °C ansteigt.A disadvantage when using conventional oxygen-containing high molecular weight Connections is the stability in the electrolyte. With normal use, these compounds decompose slowly during the electrolysis to water-insoluble polymers, which accumulate more and more in the electrolyte, frame them as jellies on the walls and finally deposit on the goods themselves, so that the goods become damaged and thus unusable. This decomposition is extremely increased when the bath temperature rises above 28 ° C.
Aufgabe dieser Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden.The object of this invention is to avoid these disadvantages.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein saures Bad gelöst, das mindestens einen Polyalkylenglycoldialkyläther der allgemeinen Formel
enthält, in der n = 8 - 800, vorzugsweise 14 - 90, und m = 0 - 50, vorzugsweise 0 - 20, R¹ ein niedriges Alkyl C₁ bis C₄, R² eine aliphatische Kette oder einen aromatischen Rest und a entweder 1 oder 2 bedeuten .This object is achieved according to the invention by an acid bath containing at least one polyalkylene glycol dialkyl ether of the general formula
contains, in which n = 8-800, preferably 14-90, and m = 0-50, preferably 0-20, R¹ is a lower alkyl C₁ to C₄, R² is an aliphatic chain or an aromatic radical and a is either 1 or 2 .
Die Menge, in der der Polyalkylengylcoldialkyläther zugegeben werden kann, um eine deutliche Verbesserung der Kupferabscheidung zu erzielen, beträgt etwa 0,005 bis 30 g/Liter; vorzugsweise 0,02 bis 8,0 g/Liter. Die relative Molmasse kann zwischen 500 und 35000 g/mol betragen; vorzugsweise 800 bis 4000 g/mol.The amount in which the polyalkylene glycol dialkyl ether can be added in order to achieve a significant improvement in the copper deposition is approximately 0.005 to 30 g / liter; preferably 0.02 to 8.0 g / liter. The relative molar mass can be between 500 and 35,000 g / mol; preferably 800 to 4000 g / mol.
Die Polyalkylenglycoldialkyläther sind an sich bekannt oder können nach an sich bekannten Verfahren durch Umsetzen von Polyalkylenglykolen mit einem Alkylierungsmittel, wie z.B. Dimethylsulfat oder tert. Buten hergestellt werden.The polyalkylene glycol dialkyl ethers are known per se or can be prepared by processes known per se by reacting polyalkylene glycols with an alkylating agent, e.g. Dimethyl sulfate or tert. Butene are made.
In der Tabelle 1 sind Beispiele der erfindungsgemäß zu verwendenden Polyalkylenglycoldialkyläther sowie ihre bevorzugte Anwendungskonzentration aufgeführt:
Zu der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung können, um glänzende Niederschlage zu erhalten, zumindestens eine Thioverbindung mit wasserlöslichmachender Gruppe zugesetzt werden. Weitere Zusätze, wie stickstoffhaltige Thioverbindungen, polymere Stickstoffverbindungen und/oder polymere Phenazoniumverbindungen können ebenfalls dem Bad zugesetzt werden.At least one thio compound having a water-solubilizing group can be added to the compound according to the invention in order to obtain a shiny precipitate. Other additives such as nitrogen-containing thio compounds, polymeric nitrogen compounds and / or polymeric phenazonium compounds can also be added to the bath.
Diese Einzelkomponenten des erfindungsgemäßen Kupferbades können im allgemeinen vorteilhaft innerhalb folgender Grenzkonzentrationen im anwendungsfertigen Bad enthalten sein:
In der Tabelle 2 sind einige übliche Thioverbindungen mit wasserlöslichen Gruppen sowie ihre bevorzugte Anwendungskonzentration aufgeführt:
Tabelle 3 enthält Beispiele für stickstoffhaltige Thioverbindungen (sog. Thioharnstoffderivate) und Tabelle 4 für polymere Phenazoniumverbindungen und Tabelle 5 für polymere Stickstoffverbindungen.
Die Grundzusammensetzung des erfindungsgemäßen Bades kann in weiten Grenzen schwanken. Im allgemeinen wird eine wässrige Lösung folgender Zusammensetzung benutzt:
Anstelle von Kupfersulfat können zumindest teilweise auch andere Kupfersalze benutzt werden. Auch die Schwefelsäure kann teilweise oder ganz durch Fluoroborsäure, Methansulfonsäure oder andere Säuren ersetzt werden. Die Chloridionen werden als Alkali chlorid (z.B. Natriumchlorid) oder in Form von Salzsäure p.a. zugesetzt. Die Zugabe von Natriumchlorid kann ganz oder teilweise entfallen, wenn in den Zusätzen bereits Halogenionen enthalten sind.Instead of copper sulfate, other copper salts can also be used, at least in part. Some or all of the sulfuric acid can be replaced by fluoroboric acid, methanesulfonic acid or other acids. The chloride ions are added as alkali chloride (eg sodium chloride) or in the form of hydrochloric acid pa. The addition of sodium chloride can be omitted in whole or in part if the additives already contain halogen ions.
Außerdem können im Bad auch zusätzlich übliche Glanzbildner, Einebner oder Netzmittel enthalten sein.In addition, customary brighteners, levelers or wetting agents can also be present in the bathroom.
Zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Bades werden die Einzelkomponenten der Grundzusammensetzung hinzugefügt.To produce the bath according to the invention, the individual components of the basic composition are added.
Die Arbeitsbedingungen des Bades sind wie folgt:
Die Elektrolytbewegung erfolgt durch Einblasen von sauberer Luft, und zwar so stark, daß sich die Elektrolytoberfläche in starker Wallung befindet.The electrolyte movement takes place by blowing clean air in, so strongly that the electrolyte surface is in a strong flush.
Als Anode wird Kupfer mit einem Gehalt von 0,02 bis 0,067 % Phosphor verwendet.Copper with a content of 0.02 to 0.067% phosphorus is used as the anode.
