摘要:
The invention relates to a process for electrolytic treatment of copper foil, comprising the steps of: (A) applying a voltage across an anode and cathode, wherein the anode and cathode are in contact with an electroplating composition containing a gelatin component; (B) removing organic particulate matter by contacting the electroplating solution containing the organic particulate matter with an adsorbent polymer; and (C) electrolytically treating the copper foil. The electroplating composition can additionally contain an active sulfur-containing component, such as thiourea.

The invention relates to a method for continuous uniform electrolytic metallizing or etching of metal surfaces, and to a device suitable for carrying out this method. The invention is particularly suitable for treating printed circuit boards and conductive films in installations through which the metal surface being treated passes horizontally. In order to avoid metal coatings of differing thicknesses being deposited on narrow and wide conductor strips in printed circuit boards, according to the present invention operation is with movable, preferably rotating roller-shaped intermediate electrodes, which roll without short circuit at a very close effective distance above the metal surface being treated, or which contact the surface in a wiping manner. These intermediate electrodes are not electrically connected to the source of bath current, thus serving as bipolar electrodes, and are located between the surface being treated and a suitable counter-electrode.

The present invention provides an apparatus for electrodepositing metals onto a substrate or the like which creates a uniform laminar flow of the electroplating solution across the surface of the substrate. Specifically, the plating bath according to this invention utilizes an insert plate with a plurality of conical-shaped apertures and a cylindrical tunnel plate to create and maintain a laminar flow of the solution across the surface of the substrate. Additionally, every plate in the invention can be separately and slidably removed to facilitate easy disassembly for cleaning and user customization to achieve the various results and specifications desired by the user.

The invention relates to an apparatus for selectively electroplating apertured products. The products are masked in accordance with the intended plating and subsequently exposed to an electrolyte in order to electroplate the products. For masking purposes a fully closed photoresist layer is electrophoretically applied to the products, and after drying of the photoresist layer, the products are covered with a photomask in accordance with the locations to be plated, after which exposure takes place. Then the photoresist layer is partially removed, while the remaining part of the photoresist layer remains behind on the products, to serve as a mask for the metal products upon electroplating.

Routing density of a wiring substrate (10) is increased by providing a nested plating bus (18) as a supplement to an external plating bus (16). A first group of conductive traces (14) is connected to the nested plating bus, while another group of traces is connected to the external plating bus. After the conductive elements are plated, the nested plating bus is removed by etching, milling, or stamping techniques. Use of a nested plating bus increases I/O count for a given substrate area and/or reduces the need to have routing on more than one layer of the substrate.

The invention builds on an arrangement for the masking of field lines in an electroplating plant for the treatment of essentially plate-shaped workpieces, which are loaded into the bath suspended from a workpiece holder, wherein a mask is provided which is vertically adjustably guided on the plating tank. To permit the vertical adjustment of the mask regardless of the shape and, in particular, the thickness of the workpiece to be treated, as well as the manner in which the workpiece is held on the workpiece holder, and further, so that said mask(s) can optionally mask the lower or the upper area of the workpiece(s) to be treated, a hold-down clamp (21) is provided, attached to the workpiece holder (6) in such a way as to be height-adjustable and lockable in the particular position, and moves the masks (12, 13; 14, 15) located laterally to the workpieces (5) into a preselected position as the workpiece holder (6) is loaded into the treatment station (1).

According to the present invention, an upper electrode and a lower electrode are integrally assembled with insoluble electrodes and diaphragmn in diaphragm electrode structure. Small holes are furnished on the upper electrode, and the diaphragm of the upper electrode is installed obliquely with degassing means. By simply carrying the objects to be plated in horizontal direction, uniform and high quality electroplating can be continuously performed with extensive increase in productivity, while enjoying all of the benefits such as shorter interpolar distance between two electrodes, compact design of the apparatus, saving of expensive additives, etc. Further, the inspection of the diaphragm and the like can be rapidly and easily accomplished, and perfect protection of the diaphragm is assured, thus providing a horizontal carrying type electroplating apparatus suitable for practical use.
