Definitions
- the invention relates to electrolytic copper plating solutions and a method for their application.
- the invention relates especially to the electrodeposition of copper for decorative use and more particularly to the electrodeposition of copper on substrates having sharp corners such as formed by the holes drilled into copper clads for the production of printed circuit boards.
- Circuit boards are generally prepared by laminating copper clad to both sides of a plastic sheet such as an epoxy-glass. Holes are then drilled through the copper clad and the plastic, exposing the plastic. The exposed plastic must then be plated to effect conductivity from one side of.the board to the other. This is generally accomplished by treating the plastic' with an activator by well known processes, subjecting the entire circuit board to electroless deposition of copper to render the areas receptive to electrolytic copper depositions, and then plating the board and the internal surfaces of the holes by electrodeposition of copper. The sharp corners formed by the perimeter of the holes adjacent the top and bottom of the board must also be plated. This can be accomplished by many different copper electroplating solutions presently on the market, but the copper plate at the corners has a tendency to develop cracks when the boards are subjected to thermal shock necessitated by further processing of the boards.

Description
- The invention relates to electrolytic copper plating solutions and a method for their application.
- The invention relates especially to the electrodeposition of copper for decorative use and more particularly to the electrodeposition of copper on substrates having sharp corners such as formed by the holes drilled into copper clads for the production of printed circuit boards.
- Circuit boards are generally prepared by laminating copper clad to both sides of a plastic sheet such as an epoxy-glass. Holes are then drilled through the copper clad and the plastic, exposing the plastic. The exposed plastic must then be plated to effect conductivity from one side of.the board to the other. This is generally accomplished by treating the plastic' with an activator by well known processes, subjecting the entire circuit board to electroless deposition of copper to render the areas receptive to electrolytic copper depositions, and then plating the board and the internal surfaces of the holes by electrodeposition of copper. The sharp corners formed by the perimeter of the holes adjacent the top and bottom of the board must also be plated. This can be accomplished by many different copper electroplating solutions presently on the market, but the copper plate at the corners has a tendency to develop cracks when the boards are subjected to thermal shock necessitated by further processing of the boards.
- It is the object of the present invention to provide _an improved copper-electroplating solution and a method of its application.
-
- The compounds that can be used to react with the alkylene disulfide compounds and the acrylamide are represented by the following formulas:
- When reacting compounds such as (3) and (4) with sodium hydroxide, the compounds are split, predominantly but not exclusively between the -S-S- bonding forming the sodium salts. Thus with formula (3), wherein R is ethyl, after reaction with sodium hydroxide would form predominantly two moles of
- The sodium salts of the compounds (3), (4) and (5) can readily be prepared by known means by heating the compounds dissolved in a solvent such as methanol (preferably under reflux) with sodium hydroxide. The compound of formulas (3), (4) and (5) are available commercially and marketed under the marks TUADS, ALTAX and CAPTAX, respectively, by R. T. Vanderbilt Company, Inc.
- The second reactant is an alkylene disulfide compound having terminal acid groups. These compounds correspond to the general formula
-
- The third reactant is acrylamide.
- The exact chemical nature of the reaction product is not known. The products resulting from these . reactions are hereinafter referred to as the reaction product(s).
- The invention includes the use of oxyalkylene polymers as brightening and leveling agents in combination with the reaction products. The oxyalkylene polymers have been found to materially increase the brightness and leveling of the deposits. The polyalkylene glycols, such as polyethylene glycols, methoxy polyethylene glycols and the polypropylene glycols, have been found to be particularly advantageous.
- The oxyethylene or oxypropylene polymers can be surfactants, anionic, nonionic or cationic. Anionic and nonionic are preferred. These types of surfactants are well known and lists of specific polymers can be obtained by consulting any standard text on the subject such as the various volumes of Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology or the industrial literature. It is the presence of the ethylene oxide or propylene oxide groups that is most important. The compounds should have at least about 8 mols of ethylene and/or propylene oxide and be soluble in the bath solution. Combinations of polyethylene and polypropylene glycols and/or surfactants can also be used.
- The amounts of the oxyalkylene polymers can be about the same as is usually employed in acid copper baths. A sufficient amount should, of course, be used to obtain the brightness and leveling desired which will in turn depend on the ultimate use intended. Generally about 0.1 to 0.5 g/1 or ml/l can be employed.
- Additional brighteners, grain refiners or leveling agents known in the art can also be added to the plating solutions of this invention in addition to or in place of the.oxyalkylene polymers as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- As noted above, the copper deposited according to this invention is useful as decorative use, in the electronic industry generally, and'for the conduction of electricity on substrates that do not have sharp corners or on articles where thermal shock is not a problem. The amounts of the reaction products employed in the acid copper plating solutions may therefore differ depending on the result desired, but in any event the amounts should be sufficient to improve the brightness and smoothness of the metallic deposits over that obtainable from the basic plating solutions. When a substrate is plated having sharp corners, such as circuit boards which are subjected to thermal shock, the amounts should be sufficient to prevent cracks in the deposit at the corners when the plated substrate is subjected to thermal shock. As far as it is known today, the amounts to accomplish both of these results will be substantially the same. Small amounts, as little as about 0.1 ml/l, have been found sufficient to accomplish this purpose. Larger amounts, such as 1 ml/l, can of course also be employed so long as it does not adversely affect the plating operations or the advantages of this invention. No upper limit has been determined. It is, of course, advantageous to use as little of reaction product as practicable to obtain the results desired.
- The acid copper plating solutions to which the reaction products can be added are conventional and well known. The two essential constituents are a copper salt, such as copper sulfate., and an acid, such as sulfuric acid. The salt furnishes the metal ions and the acid serves to reduce the resistivity or promote conductivity. These baths typically contain between about 70-250 g/1 of copper sulfate and 30 to 250 g/1 of sulfuric acid.
- The reaction products can be formed by dissolving compounds of formulas (1) and/or (2), such as tetralakylthiuram disulfide sodium salt in a suitable solvent, adding a bis(3-sulfoalkyl) disulfide salt to the reaction mixture together with acrylamide under reflux. Concentrated sulfuric acid is then added (dropwise in the laboratory) during the reflux and continued until gassing has ceased or no precipitate or turbidity is present. The reactants can be the mixtures as described above.
- 2.6 g of tetraethylthiuram disulfide is dissolved in a sufficient amount of methanol and 0.78 g of sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture is refluxed for 30 minutes to complete the reaction and the volume of the resulting solution is increased by 50% to 100% with water to clear it from turbidity. 3.52 g of Bis(3-sulfopropyl) disulfide disodium salt and 8.0 g of acrylamide are then added while continuing the reflux for about 30 minutes to an hour. Concentrated sulfuric acid is added dropwise during the reflux and continued until no more gassing or precipitate or turbidity is present. The color of the solution, during the sulfuric acid addition, changes from a dark greenish-yellow to pale yellow-colorless. The reaction product is then diluted-with water to a volume of 1 liter.
- The exact proportions of the reactants are not very critical but best results to date are obtained by using stoichiometric amounts. The reaction can include additional reactants so long as they do not affect the function and advantageous properties of the resulting reaction product. For example, 0.6 g of formaldehyde can be added to the methanol solution and reacted with the sodium hydroxide before the addition of the disulfide compound and the resulting reaction product has substantially the same advantageous properties.

- The plating bath was operated at 75°F in a Hull cell with air agitation at a current of 2 amps for 10 minutes. The plating bath in the 2 gallon tank was operated at identical parameters, but at a current density of 15 ASF for an hour.
