摘要: Soluble copper oxide powder capable of preventing a decrease in quality of a copper film formed by plating is disclosed. The copper oxide powder contains copper and impurities including sodium. A concentration of the sodium is not more than 20 ppm. The copper oxide powder is regularly supplied into a plating solution. A voltage is applied between an insoluble anode and a substrate immersed in the plating solution, thereby plating the substrate.

摘要: Electroplating processing systems according to the present technology may include a recirculating tank containing a first volume of processing fluid. The recirculating tank may be fluidly coupled with a delivery pump. The systems may include a vessel configured to receive the processing fluid from the pump. The vessel may include an inner chamber and an outer chamber, and the inner chamber may be sized to hold a second volume of processing fluid less than the first volume of processing fluid. A liquid level sensor may be associated with the vessel to provide a liquid level indication in the outer chamber. The systems may include a return line coupled with an outlet of the vessel and coupled with an inlet of the recirculating tank. The systems may also include a return pump fluidly coupled with the return line. The return pump may be electrically coupled with the liquid level sensor.

摘要: Multipurpose electrolytic device (EMPD) for forced or spontaneous electrolytic processes, which incorporates selective and unidirectional ion exchange membranes in order to separate between two or more compartments and allow electrical conductivity therebetween, with independent electrolytes for controlled electrolytic ion transformation, regardless of the chemical composition of the electrolyte containing the element of interest, with high faradaic efficiency and high energy performance. The invention also relates to a method. The device can be used for processes such as metal electrowinning (EW), metal electrorefining, electrooxidation (EOXI) and electroreduction (ERED) of ionic species. The device uses two independent, energetically suitable electrolytes, which allow controlled electrolytic ion transformation, with high faradaic efficiency and high energy performance, unlike current forced electrolysis methods, which operate with a common electrolyte. The device can be used in any aqueous medium, for example an acid environment, such as sulphuric, hydrochloric or other acid, a caustic-soda-based alkaline, or ammonium, thiocyanate or thiosulfate salts, with or without the presence of organic reactants.

摘要: A continuous separation installation for the galvanic deposition of a substance on objects includes contacting devices having at least one electrically conductive contact arm. The contacting devices are arranged in areas of the continuous separation installation which are free from an electrolyte used for the galvanic deposition of the substance. There is also described an assembly for a continuous separation installation.

摘要: A portable electroplating system with components integrated into a complete system, rather than separated and disjointed. A single electroplating system can be self-contained to include all necessary rectifiers, tanks, cleaning functionalities, and other helpful or necessary items. By using smaller components than conventional electroplating systems, the system can allow for more economical use of chemicals, solutions, and energy and can be utilized more efficiently towards a unique shape or size of object to be plated. The system can also include wheels to make the system portable. A rack management system can be employed to move objects from one location to another within the system.

摘要: A processing liquid supplying apparatus supplies a processing liquid to a processing unit which processes a substrate. The processing liquid supplying apparatus includes a supply pipe to which a processing liquid inside a processing liquid tank that stores the processing liquid is fed and which supplies the processing liquid, which is fed from the processing liquid tank, to the processing unit, a return pipe which is branched and connected to the supply pipe to return a processing liquid inside the supply pipe to the processing liquid tank, a first heating unit which heats a processing liquid inside an upstream-side portion to be heated that is set in the supply pipe upstream from a branched position to which the return pipe is connected, a second heating unit which heats a processing liquid inside a downstream-side portion to be heated that is set in the supply pipe downstream from the branched position, a cooling unit which cools a processing liquid inside a portion to be cooled that is set in the return pipe, and a first filter which is interposed in the supply pipe upstream from the upstream-side portion to be heated and removes particles in a processing liquid.

摘要: The embodiments herein relate to methods and apparatus for electroplating one or more materials onto a substrate. In many cases the material is a metal and the substrate is a semiconductor wafer, though the embodiments are no so limited. Typically, the embodiments herein utilize a channeled plate positioned near the substrate, creating a cross flow manifold defined on the bottom by the channeled plate, on the top by the substrate, and on the sides by a cross flow confinement ring. During plating, fluid enters the cross flow manifold both upward through the channels in the channeled plate, and laterally through a cross flow side inlet positioned on one side of the cross flow confinement ring. The flow paths combine in the cross flow manifold and exit at the cross flow exit, which is positioned opposite the cross flow inlet. These combined flow paths result in improved plating uniformity.

摘要: Plating bath and well structures and methods are described to stop the organic compounds present in plating reservoir wells or bath solution from rising, i.e., climbing up the reservoir wall. An electroplating apparatus includes a vessel holding a liquid solution including metal plating material and an organic species, and a method of operating an electroplating apparatus. The apparatus is designed with plating bath and structures and methods to stop the organic compounds present in plating reservoir wells or bath solution from rising, i.e., climbing or wicking up the inner surfaces of reservoir walls, and to wash them back down on a continuous or cyclical basis in order to maintain a concentration of organic compounds in the plating solution within upper and lower specification limits.

摘要: An apparatus and a method suited for metal plating aircraft engine components that allows the creation a local environment for plating by covering a localized area to be plated so that the localized area to be plated is sealed from remaining parts of the component, thereby eliminating the need for masking remaining parts of the component prior to plating.
