Abstract

PURPOSE:To rapidly exhaust generated reactive gas from a vessel contg. an electroless plating soln. and to easily and surely form a nearly uniform plating layer even on the inside of each fine through hole by evacuating the internal space of the vessel with an evacuating means. CONSTITUTION:Printed circuit boards 3 as bodies to be plated are set in a basket 4, immersed in an electroless plating soln. 1 in a vessel 5 and electroless- plated. At this time, an evacuating means 6 composed of a lid 6a and a pipe 6b is fitted to the vessel 5 and the space 5a on the plating soln. 1 is evacuated with the means 6. Reactive gas generated during electroless plating is rapidly exhausted from the vessel 5 and the sticking and remaining of the gas on the bodies 3 to be plated are prevented. A nearly uniform plating layer can be formed even on the inside of each through hole of about <=0.4 mm diameter.

(Prior art) For example, in the manufacture of printed wiring boards, through holes or via holes are used to electrically connect circuit patterns on both sides (outer layer), between inner layer circuit patterns, or between inner layer circuit patterns and surface circuit patterns. I'm doing it. That is, a hole is drilled through the thickness of the laminate at a predetermined position in a laminate formed by integrating the layers or an inner circuit board, and the inner wall surface of the hole is electroless plated. The process deposits a conductor layer to make the necessary electrical connections. The electroless plating process is performed as follows. That is, the second

That is, unplated parts (unplated parts) often occur on the inner wall surfaces of the through-holes and via-holes, and the required electrical connection function may not be fully achieved. However, this tendency occurs more frequently as the diameter of the through hole or via hole becomes smaller, for example, about 0.41 or less. Such a phenomenon has become a serious problem in the current situation where circuit pattern widths are becoming smaller, wiring density is becoming higher, and through-hole diameters are being made smaller as a result.

(Function) In the electroless plating apparatus according to the present invention, the gas generated in the required electroless plating reaction is quickly discharged to the outside of the plating tank. In other words, the gas generated by the reaction by the decompression and exhaust means is easily exhausted to the outside of the electroless plating tank, and does not adhere to or remain on the inner wall surface of the through hole. Therefore, the problem of non-plating caused by the adhesion or residual of the reaction-produced gas can be completely prevented or avoided.
