Analytical methods are disclosed for determining the quantity of organic components in a bath. The analytical methods work over a broad concentration range of organic components and are sensitive in measuring organic bath components at low concentrations.
摘要:
A method for treating a micro-roughened metal surface to improve bonding between the metal surface and a polymer material. The method involves post-treating the micro-roughened conversion coated metal surface with an aqueous wetting agent composition after having formed the micro-roughened conversion coated metal surface with an adhesion promotion composition. The method can be employed in the circuit board industry to improve bonding between layers in multilayer circuit boards.
摘要:
The invention relates to a conductive dispersions used for diverse purposes such a base for electroplating nonconductors. The dispersion are characterized by use of a stabilizing quantity of a stabilizer having repeating alylkene oxide groups and a hydrophilic--lipophilic balance in excess of 12. It has been found that the stabilizers utilized in the subject compositions does result in a significant loss of conductivity in coatings formed from the dispersion.
摘要:
A direct method of analyzing brighteners and levelers used in metal electroplating baths. The method is based on the differential adsorption of these additives on a working electrode during a sequence of steps prior to and during metal plating. The sensitivity of the method allows for the determination of both brightener and leveler in the same sample without cyclic processing.
摘要:
A composition for electroplating copper onto a conductive surface comprising a solution soluble copper salt and an acid electrolyte, said copper salt being present in a concentration of from about 1 to 10 grams per liter of solution and said acid being present in a concentration whereby the acid to copper ratio preferably varies between about 30 to 1 and 50 to 1. The composition is especially useful for the plating of walls of cylindrical openings having a ratio of height to diameter of at least 10 to 1 and a length of at least 0.100 inches.
摘要:
A metal plating bath containing alcohol compounds that inhibit or retard the consumption of plating bath additives. The additives are chemical compounds that improve the brightness of the plated metal, the physical properties of the plated metal especially with respect to ductility and the micro-throwing power as well as the macro-throwing power of the plating bath. The alcohol compounds that inhibit or retard the consumption of additives increases the life of the plating bath and improves the efficiency of the plating process. The plating baths containing the alcohol compounds that inhibit or retard additive consumption can be employed to plate copper, gold, silver, palladium, platinum, cobalt, cadmium, chromium, bismuth, indium, rhodium, ruthenium, and iridium.
摘要:
A metal plating bath and metal plating process that contains aldehyde compounds that prevent or reduce the consumption of metal plating bath additives. The metal plating baths provide for an efficient plating method because the plating process need not be interrupted to replenish the plating bath with additives. The Metal plating baths may be employed to plate metals such as copper, gold, silver, palladium, cobalt, chromium, cadmium, bismuth, indium, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium.

The device comprises two anodes and a cathode suspended in a chamber adapted to contain a plating solution. The cathode is suspended between said anodes and comprises two flat electrode portions in electrical contact with each other, in parallel relationship to each other and spaced apart from each other to define a space containing plating solution. Each of said flat electrode portions has electrode portions electrically isolated from a center electrode and means for measuring the current on said first electrode portions and center electrode.
摘要:
A conductive polymer colloidal composition that selectively forms a coating on a non-conductive surface. The conductive polymer colloidal composition is composed of a polymer and a sulfonate dopant. The conductive polymer colloidal composition may also contain conductive colloidal particles such as conductive carbon or metal salt particles, oxidants, stabilizers, and preservatives. The conductive polymer colloidal composition may be employed to selectively coat the non-conductive parts of printed wiring boards such that a uniform metal layer can be deposited on the conductive polymer coat. In addition to a uniform metal layer being formed over the conductive polymer, adhesion between the metal layer and the printed wiring board is improved.
