ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present invention relates to a process for the removal of contaminants from holes of printed circuit boards using oxidants, such as permanganates in aqueous solutions, and/or swelling (soaking) agents as well as employing an ultransonic treatment wherein the boards are passed horizontally during the treatment.

Description
` 1 307353 The present invention relates to a process for the removal of contaminats from boreholes of printed circuit boards (pcs) using oxidants such as permanganates in aqueous ~ oa~,~) solutions and/or swelling~agents, and employing an ultrasonic treatment.
In the production of multilayer structures it is necessary to carry cut a pretreatment procedure in order to remove resinous smearings caused by drilling ~called "smear"
in the common technical usage). The removal of the "drill smear" is effected to ensure a proper electrical contact of the conducting inner layers with the through-contacts in the boreholes. Moreover, the removal of "smear" eliminates the residues of PCB materials, either loosely attached or stuck to the boreholes, which facilitates the adhesion of the metal layer which is deposited during the through-contacting. This is important, above all, after the thermal treatment that printed circuit boards undergo in the soldering operation.
It is known to remove smear using potassium or sodium permanganate solutions. In many cases, this oxidlzing treatment is preceded by soaking (swelling) in aqueous solu-tions containing various solvents and/or surfactants. The duration of the treatment is very long, and therefore it has also been known to accelerate such procedures by employing ultrasonic treatment. There is, however, a problem associated with the above prior art process in that a uniform ultrasonic field cannot be set up with the conventional arrangement of the printed circuit boards in the processing basket. As a result, cleaning action of varying force takes place depending on the positioning of the board in the basket and thus, a uni-form and complete remova~ of the drilling residue is not guar-anteed.
The present invention provides a process that 3~
enables a complete removal of contaminants from the boreholes.
According to the present invention there is provided in a process for the removal of boring smear contaminations from the bore holes of conductor plates, of the type wherein said conductor plates are treated by applying oxidation agents and/or soaking agents, a well as an ul-trasonic treatment, the improvement comprising transporting said conductor plates horizontally during said treatment~ Suitably the oxidants and the soaking (swelling) agents are splashed onto the horizontally passed boards by means of a nozzle which is disposed below the board feed path and at right angles to the direction of feed.
The oxidants are suitably aqueous solutions of permanganate.
. ., The aqueous permanganate solution suitably contains 30 - 65 gJl sodium permanganate or 30 - 60 g/l potassium permanganate.

3~
Conventional ultrasonic vibrators can be employed for the ultrasonic treatment.
The circuit boards can be led horizontally in a known manner using apparatus such as described for instance in DE~ - 3~ 36 545.
The process of the present invention makes it possible to achievel in a known way, a uniform cleaning, or removal, of drilling residues in all the treatment steps in order to ensure a positive electrical contact of the multilayered inner laminations.
Another advantage of the invention is a substantial imnrovem~n-t ~f the qllality ~f the boreholes, since a partial "~ver-etching" is avoicled.
Further unexpected benefits of the invention include a markedl,v improved purification of even very small boreholes due to the directed flow (of the solution~ through the holes and a significantly shortened treatment time (0.2 to 2 min) and hence improved operational efficiency of the treatment facilities.
The process of the present invention is carried out for instance in a following manner. The drilled multilayer boards are passed horizontally through a flushing device with an,-ultrasonic (attachment). In this connection, it is possible to pretreat the coating (sticky) surface, in the first stage, with a "swelling~ solution, then rinse it, like-wise during a continuous horizontal pass, and subject the board to the oxldizing treatment with potassium or sodium per-manganate. Subsequently, the residual permanganate from the treatment is removed by passing the rinsed board again trough a flushing treatment zone where the build-up of manganese dioxide is reduced. Finally, the board is rinsed again and can be passed on to the through-metallization step.
The invention will be further illustrated by the following Examples.
