摘要:
A process for regenerating electroless plating bath comprising the steps of:
(i) continuously or intermittently taking out a part or the whole of chelating agent-containing copper electroless plating bath (12) from an electroless plating tank, followed by removing off the copper ion content from said bath; (ii) acidifying the thus obtained solution for precipitating the chelating agent therefrom and recovering the precipitated chelating agent; (iii) supplying said recovered chelating agent to an anodic cell separated by an exchange membrane from a cathodic cell having cathode, said anodic cell having copper anode, wherein in case a neutral or alkaline electrolyte solution is supplied to said cathodic cell said partitioning membrane is an anion exchange membrane or cation exchange membrane, while in case an acidic electrolyte solution is supplied to said cathodic cell said partitioning membrane is a cation exchange membrane, and applying direct current between both electrode; and (iv) then, recycling the solution within said anodic cell to said electroless plating tank, and a regenerating apparatus of electroless plating bath including
(a) a copper-precipitating means for decomposing the copper chelate contained in the electroless copper plating bath and for precipitating the copper ion, (b) a chelating agent-recovering means for changing the pH of the solution to precipitate the chelating agent and recover, and (c) an electrolytic means comprising an anodic cell (33) and a cathodic cell (35) separated by means of an ion exchange membrane (37), said anodic cell having a copper anode (39) therein, said cathodic cell having a cathode therein.
摘要:
A printed wiring board of this invention can be obtained by the steps of: making holes in the necessary portion of a copper-clad laminate; forming a catalytic layer on said hole walls and copper foil by pretreatment for electroless plating; forming an etching resist film on necessary lands and circuits; melting-off the copper foil and catalytic layer on the unnecessary portion of said copper-clad laminate by etching; melting-off or retaining said etching resist film; and forming an electroless copper plated film on said catalytic layer: or forming a solder resist film on the necessary portion before or after said electroless copper plated film is formed.
