Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing an additive-free, fast-depositing electroplating bath for depositing shiny and crack-free palladium layers and a method for the electroplating of shiny and crack-free palladium layers using such a bath.
- the palladium baths working in the acidic range are usually characterized by low stability of the palladium complex, a low deposition rate (1 to 8 ⁇ m per min) and high packaging costs. However, they have the advantage that they allow a 100% current yield and the coatings are therefore usually crack-free.
- the known alkaline palladium baths are based on ammonia complexes or amine compounds. With these baths it is usually very difficult to keep the pH constant. Another disadvantage of these baths is that only a low deposition rate between 0.25 and 1 ⁇ m can be achieved.
- the coatings tend to crack, either through the use of glossy images, which lead to residual stresses, or through a non-100% current efficiency, since the hydrogen produced during the deposition is built into the layer; As is well known, hydrogen is very strongly absorbed by palladium.
- the constantly evaporating ammonia in the case of ammoniacal baths requires extensive suction devices because of the odor load.
- palladium compounds such as PdC1 2 , Pd (OH) 2 , K 2 Pd (N0 2 ) 4 , Pd (NH 2 S0 3 ) 2 , Pd (NH 3 ) 2 C1 2 and Pd (NH 3 ) 2 (N0 2 ) 2 are used.
- EP-A-0 076 523 discloses a quick-depositing galvanic palladium bath for depositing shiny, crack-free palladium layers, which contains an ammoniacal solution of a palladium tetraamino complex and a phosphate anion or carbonate anion.
- This bath should be free of quaternized pyridinium additives.
- the addition of palladium in the form of palladium tetraamine chloride is preferred.
- the invention has for its object to provide a palladium bath for the deposition of shiny, crack-free palladium layers, which only requires low manufacturing costs and high deposition rates of at least 10 to 25 microns / min with a 100% current yield. Furthermore, it should be possible to dispense with any addition of gloss and a high bath stability should be guaranteed. In order to achieve permanent corrosion resistance, the deposited layer should not contain any sulfur.
- This object is achieved in a process for producing a generic bath by adding phosphoric acid, ammonia to the neutralization of the phosphoric acid and palladium in the form of palladium chloride in succession in distilled water heated to 90 ° C., then the use pH adjusted with ammonia or phosphoric acid and the bath is replenished to the final volume with distilled water.
- the palladium bath according to the invention is also particularly advantageous because it is based on palladium chloride, one of the cheapest palladium salts.
- the process for the galvanic deposition of shiny, crack-free palladium layers using such a bath is characterized in that the bath temperatures in the range from 20 to 80 ° C., with current densities in the range from 40 to 180 A / dm 2 and with an electrolyte movement, which is defined by a rotating disk electrode with an outer diameter of 10 mm and a disk diameter of 2 mm at a rotational speed of 3600 to 10,000 rpm.
- the layers are of excellent quality. Even with an enlargement up to 15000, no cracks could be detected.
- the free ammonia content is so low that there is no fear of odor and no corrosion of the treated material and the system.
- the pH stability is better than with the other known alkaline baths. In the bath according to the invention the palladium does not tend to self-reduction, so that the bath is highly stable.
- the palladium bath according to the invention is advantageously used in continuously operating electroplating systems, possibly also for the partial coating of components, such as Connectors or the like., Which are connected together to form a band.
- the increased electrolyte movement is preferably achieved by spraying the electrolyte onto the workpiece with the aid of nozzles.
- the nozzles form the anode, while the strip is contacted cathodically.
- the free ends of the parts sprayed with electrolyte are preferably continuously wetted with electrolyte by an arrangement of a channel or the like.
- the bath produces glossy and crack-free layers at a temperature of 60 ° C and a current density of 75 A / dm 2 when the rotating disk electrode is operated at 5000 rpm.
- the bath produces glossy and crack-free layers at a temperature of 65 ° C and an electrolyte movement over spray nozzles at a current density of 140 A / dm 2 and with an electrolyte quantity of 2.8 ml / sec per nozzle.
- the bath gives a shiny and crack-free palladium layer at a temperature of 60 ° C and a current density of 60 A / dm 2 and an electrolyte movement over spray nozzles with an amount of electrolyte of 1.7 ml / sec and per nozzle.
