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: 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: A chemical bath system includes a reactor tank configured to store a chemical bath solution including at least one organic element, and an organics removing chamber assembly. The organics removing chamber assembly includes at least one sub-chamber that delivers the chemical bath solution from a high-pressure section of a bath circuit to a low-pressure section. The organics removing chamber assembly modifies an amount of the at least one organic element as the chemical bath solution flows therethrough. The chemical bath system further includes an analysis/dosing controller. The analysis/dosing controller outputs a control signal that controls the organics removing chamber assembly to modify the amount of the at least one organic element in the chemical bath solution based on a comparison between an actual amount of the at least one organic element in the chemical bath solution and a desired amount of the at least one organic element.

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 rotational surface treating device with a high treatment efficiency that allows a treatment liquid to be discharged in a short time is provided. When a treatment bath 2 is rotated, parts 20 contact an electrode 50 to be electroplated. In this event, a plating liquid 16 is used as circulated by a pump P. The plating liquid 16 is discharged to the outside through a gap in a side wall 80 for replacement of the plating liquid 16 or the like. During discharge, the plating liquid 16 is not circulated by the pump P. The gap 8 which is formed in the side wall 80 is formed to be smaller than the minimum dimension of the parts 20 on the inner side. The gap 8 is formed to be wider toward the outer side. Thus, water is discharged immediately.

摘要: Detection methods for an electroplating process are provided. A detection method includes immersing a substrate into an electrolyte solution to perform an electroplating process. The electrolyte solution includes an additive agent. The detection method also includes immersing a detection device into the electrolyte solution. The detection method further includes applying a first alternating current (AC) voltage or direct current (DC) voltage to the detection device to detect the concentration of the additive agent. In addition, the detection method includes applying a combination of a second AC voltage and a second DC voltage to the detection device to inspect the electrolyte solution. An impurity is detected in the electrolyte solution. The detection method also includes replacing the electrolyte solution containing the impurity with another electrolyte solution.

摘要: In one example, an electroplating system comprising a bath reservoir having a first inlet for feeding fresh electrolyte solution into the bath reservoir and a first outlet for bleeding used electrolyte solution out of the bath reservoir, a second inlet for receiving recycled electrolyte solution into the bath reservoir, and a second outlet for discharge0 of electrolyte solution from the bath reservoir. A plating cell is providing for electroplating an object, the plating cell has an inlet in direct or indirect fluid communication with the bath reservoir, and an outlet for discharge of electrolyte solution from the plating cell. An extraction column extracts by-products generated by the plating cell and has an inlet in direct or indirect fluid communication with the outlet of the plating cell, and an outlet for discharge of electrolyte solution from the extraction column. A first particle filter is disposed in a fluid pathway between the second outlet of the bath reservoir and the inlet of the plating cell, and a second particle filter is disposed in a fluid pathway between the outlet of the extraction column and the second inlet of the bath reservoir.
