Description

Device and method for chemical plating or cleaning
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of chemical plating, and relates to a device and a method for chemical plating or cleaning.
Background
Circuit boards are one of the key components of electronic products, and internal conductive structures (e.g., conductive vias) are often required in circuit boards to establish electrical connection between internal circuits or between internal circuits and external circuits. However, as electronic products increasingly emphasize miniaturization and multi-functional design, the size of the circuit board, which communicates with its circuitry and internal conductive structures, must also be continually reduced. Existing electroless plating techniques still face challenges in forming high aspect ratio internal conductive structures. For example, as the pore size of the via becomes smaller and the aspect ratio becomes larger, electroless plating solutions are difficult to enter the via by diffusion, and in other cases, air is typically blocked in the via.
In order to solve the above problems, the conventional electroless plating technology adopts methods of jet flow, bubble generation and the like to disturb the electroless plating solution, but the disturbance range generated by the methods is too small, so that the electroless plating solution is not easy to enter the through holes to plate metal, and the conductive structures in the through holes have defects (discontinuous conductive structures). In the cleaning step, the problem that the cleaning liquid is difficult to enter is also caused in the through holes with high depth-to-width ratio, so that the cleaning effect is not ideal.
Therefore, there is a need for an innovative electroless plating technique that ensures that electroless plating solutions or cleaning solutions enter into high aspect ratio through holes to produce high quality through hole products with high aspect ratios.
