摘要:
This invention is directed to a process for the selective metallization which utilizes multiple photoresist layers, using a buried palladium ligand which is then catalyzed using a PdBr selective catalyst. The Pd in the catalyst is then reduced to Pd0 and metallized using for example electroless copper.
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.
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.Also disclosed is a device for measuring throwing power of a plating solution. 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.
摘要:
The invention discloses the use of an additive for acid copper plating bath which is chosen based on criteria of creating a shift in the charge transfer overpotential of the bath; or alternatively, creating a differential overpotential between the surface of a high aspect ratio circuit board and the recesses of such boards. The additive may be a single or multi-component additive.

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.
