摘要:
A process for control of recycle of ammoniacal copper etchant which uses metallic aluminum to remove copper without substantially adding undesirable byproducts, by controlling the temperature and mixture rate of the removal process. The very rapid reaction can be controlled by using a diluent of copper-free etchant, heating to process temperature, then adding spent, copper containing etchant at a controlled rate while actively cooling the system to control the temperature. The copper concentration can be monitored by colorimetry while maintaining the pH above pH 8. The separated metallic copper and aluminum hydroxide sludge are easily filtered from the etchant. The purified etchant is now suitable for chemical adjustment and reuse.
摘要:
A metal dissolving liquid and method for stripping tin and solder coatings, including the underlying tin-copper alloy, from the copper substrate of a printed circuit board. The liquid includes an aqueous solution of nitric acid in an amount sufficient to dissolve solder and tin, a source of ferric ions in an amount sufficient to dissolve tin-copper alloy, a source of halide ions in an amount sufficient to solubilize tin, an effective amount of methylsulfonic acid as promoter for complete stripping, and a source of an organic, water soluble amine. The combination of ingredients will substantially eliminate sludge formation, reduce attack on the copper substrate and provide a bright copper finish after solder removal. A liquid further including organic triazoles including benzotriazole in amounts not more than about 5% by weight and sulfamic ions in amounts not more than about 2.5% by weight.

摘要:
This invention relates to a method for increasing the effective process life and chemical efficiency of use of aqueous-based developer solutions used for chemical development of photoresists such as are used in the printed circuit industry. The activity is maintained by regenerating some of byproducts during the process to active carbonate, by controlled additions of alkaline hydroxide instead if conventional carbonate solution. The pH and thus the development speed can automatically be controlled at any desired constant value. This invention allows simple automation of printed circuit photoresist development, with reduced chemical costs and increased chemical usage efficiency and thus reducing the industrial waste volume.

An electroless silver plating solution comprises a silver(I) complex, a thiosulfate salt, and a sulfite salt. This electroless silver plating solution uses a novel reducing agent combination of thiosulfate and sulfite. It shows a plating rate and a plating solution stability far superior to those of conventional silver plating solutions containing formaldehyde, reducing sugars, borohydride, hydrazine, and other reducing agents.

An electroless silver or gold plating solution comprising a noncyanide metal complex, a thiosulfate, a sulfite, and at least one amino acid. These electroless plating solutions containing an amino acid exhibit an accelerated plating rate compared to identical solutions lacking amino acids.

This invention relates to the removal of lead from spent ferric nitrate based solder strippers, the regeneration of the spent ferric nitrate based solder strippers, and the reuse of these solutions at least one time. It comprises a method and process for precipitating lead salts from used acidic solder strippers which are employed to strip solder coatings, including the underlying tin-copper alloy, from the copper substrate of a printed circuit board. The method includes the use of sulfate ions which are directly added to an aqueous solution of spent solder stripper, without neutralization of the spent solder stripper, optionally in combination with nitric or methylsulfonic acid addition. After precipitation and removal of the lead salts, additional components of the solder stripper composition may be added to substantially restore the initial functioning of the solder stripper.

Simultaneous non-contact plating and planarizing of copper interconnections in semiconductor wafer manufacturing is performed by providing relative motion between a bipolar electrode and a metallized surface of a semiconductor wafer without necessary physical contact with the wafer or direct electrical connection thereto.
摘要:
An electrophotographic system is described in which a photoconductive ion modulator screen is used in conjunction with an anodized aluminum dielectric imaging surface. This combination enables the steps of image transfer and fixing to be carried out simultaneously without destroying the latent image produced on the dielectric imaging surface.A duplex anodized aluminum coating is prepared by forming a porous aluminum oxide layer by electrolytically oxidizing an aluminum surface and thereafter continuing the electrolytic oxidation under conditions which produce a barrier type aluminum oxide layer. The resulting duplex anodized aluminum coating containing both porous type aluminum oxide and barrier type aluminum oxide is used as the dielectric imaging surface in this electrophotographic system.
