Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein saures Bad zur galvanischen Abscheidung glänzender und eingeebneter Kupferüberzüge.The invention relates to an acid bath for the electrodeposition of shiny and leveled copper coatings.

Es ist seit langem bekannt, daß sauren, insbesondere den am meisten verbreiteten, schwefelsauren Kupferelektrolyten bestimmte organische Substanzen in geringen Mengen zugesetzt werden können, um statt einer kristallin-matten Abscheidung glänzende Kupferüberzüge zu erhalten. Für diesen Zweck sind zum Beispiel bekanntgeworden Polyäthylenglycol, Thioharnstoff, Gelatine, Melasse, Kaffee-Extrakt, "basische" Farbstoffe und Thiophosphorsäureester, die jedoch keinerlei praktische Bedeutung mehr besitzen, da die Qualität der mit Ihnen erhaltenen Kupferüberzüge nicht den heutigen Anforderungen entsprechen. So sind die Überzüge entweder zu spröde oder sie besitzen einen zu geringen Glanz beziehungsweise fallen in bestimmten Stromdichtebereichen reliefartig aus.It has long been known that acidic, in particular the most widespread, sulfuric acid copper electrolytes, certain organic substances can be added in small amounts in order to obtain shiny copper coatings instead of a crystalline matt deposition. For this purpose, for example, polyethylene glycol, thiourea, gelatin, molasses, coffee extract, "basic" dyes and thiophosphoric acid esters have become known, but they no longer have any practical significance, since the quality of the copper coatings obtained with them does not meet today's requirements. For example, the coatings are either too brittle or have a low gloss or are relief-like in certain current density ranges.

Gemische verschiedener chemisch unterschiedlicher Inhibitoren mit Thioverbindung verbesserten die Kupferabscheidung:Mixtures of different chemically different inhibitors with thio compound improved the copper deposition:

Vorgeschlagen wurde der Zusatz von Polyaly kliminen in Verbindung mit organischen Thioverbindungen (DE-PS 1246347) und Polyvinylverbindungen in Mischung mit sauerstoffhaltigen hochmolekularen Verbindungen und organischen insbesondere aromatischen Thioverbindungen (DE AS 15 21 062). Derartige Kupferelektrolyte erlauben aber nicht den Einsatz höherer kathodischer Stromdichten, und die abgeschiedenen Kupferüberzüge können außerdem nur nach einer vorausgegangenen Zwischenbehandlung vernickelt werden. In der genannten DE AS 15 21 062 wird außerdem ein saures Kupferbad beschrieben, das neben einer polymeren sauerstoffhaltigen Verbindung mit wasserlöslich machender Gruppe noch mindestens eine substituierte Phenazoniumverbindung gelöst enthält.The addition of polyalcohols in connection with organic thio compounds (DE-PS 1246347) and polyvinyl compounds in a mixture with oxygen-containing high-molecular compounds and organic, in particular aromatic thio compounds (DE AS 15 21 062) was proposed. However, such copper electrolytes do not allow the use of higher cathodic current densities, and the deposited copper coatings can also only be nickel-plated after a previous intermediate treatment. In the aforementioned DE AS 15 21 062 an acidic copper bath is also described which, in addition to a polymeric oxygen-containing compound with a water-solubilizing group, also contains at least one substituted phenazonium compound in solution.

Bei diesen monomeren Phenazoniumverbindungen ist die anwendbare Stromdichte sowie das Alterungsverhalten nicht ausreichend. Weitere Veröffentlichungen verwenden die Kombination von organischen Thioverbindungen und nichtiogenen Netzmitteln mit anderen Farbstoffen wie zum Beispiel Kristall-Violett (Eu-PS 71512), Methylviolett (DE PS 225584), Amiden (US PS 4181582), Phthalocyanin-De1ivaten mit Apo-Safranin (US PS 3420999).With these monomeric phenazonium compounds, the current density that can be used and the aging behavior are not sufficient. Other publications use the combination of organic thio compounds and non-ionic wetting agents with other dyes such as crystal violet (Eu-PS 71512), methyl violet (DE PS 225584), amides (US Pat. No. 4181582), phthalocyanine derivatives with apo-safranin (US PS 3420999).

Anstelle des Farbstoffes wurden auch undefinierte Umsetzungsprodukte von Polyaminen mit Benzylchlorid (US PS 4110176) beziehungsweise Epichlorhydrin (EU PS 68807) oder solche mit Thioverbindungen und Acrylamid (EU PS 107109) vorgeschlagen.Instead of the dye, undefined reaction products of polyamines with benzyl chloride (US PS 4110176) or epichlorohydrin (EU PS 68807) or those with thio compounds and acrylamide (EU PS 107109) have also been proposed.

Sie ergeben alle ungleichmäßige Abscheidungen insbesondere in Kombination mit stickstoffhaltigen Thioverbindungen.They all result in non-uniform deposits, especially in combination with nitrogen-containing thio compounds.

Einen wesentlichen Fortschritt erbrachten Bäder, die polymere Phenazoniumverbindungen (DE PS 2039831) enthielten. Sie finden hauptsächlich in Kombination mit nichtionogenen Netzmitteln und organischen Schwefelverbindungen Anwendung.Baths containing polymeric phenazonium compounds (DE PS 2039831) made significant progress. They are mainly used in combination with non-ionic wetting agents and organic sulfur compounds.

Nachteilig ist die hohe Einebnung im hohen Stromdichtebereich im Vergleich zur geringen Einebnung im niedrigen Bereich, was bei der Verkupferung von gedruckten Schaltungen zu Lochrandabflachungen an den Bohrlöchern führt. In der dekorativen Kupferabscheidung machen sich die unterschiedlichen Bereiche in der Stromdichte unschön bemerkbar.The high leveling in the high current density range is disadvantageous in comparison to the low leveling in the low range, which leads to flattening of the edge of the holes in the drill holes when copper-plating printed circuits. In the decorative copper deposition, the different areas in the current density are noticeably noticeable.

Aufgabe dieser Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und darüber hinaus die Einebnung und gleichmäßige Abscheidung im Bereich niedriger Stromdichte zu verbessern.The object of this invention is to avoid these disadvantages and also to improve the leveling and uniform deposition in the region of low current density.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein saures Bad gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs gelöst.This object is achieved by an acid bath according to the characterizing part of the patent claim.

Vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.Advantageous further developments are listed in the subclaims.

Zusätzlich können noch Einebner, wie zum Beispiel Thioharnstoffderivate oder polymere Phenazoniumverbindungen von Fall zu Fall die Einebnung im hohen Bereich verbessern.In addition, levelers, such as thiourea derivatives or polymeric phenazonium compounds, can improve the leveling in the high range from case to case.

Die Mengen, in denen die Benzthiazolium-Verbindungen zugegeben werden müssen, um eine deutliche Verbesserung der Kupferabscheidung zu erzielen, sind gering und betragen etwa 0.0005 bis 0.3 g/Liter vorzugsweise 0.002 bis 0.05 g/Liter. Tabelle 1 enthält Beispiele für erfindungsgemäß zu verwendende Substanzen und Angaben über die bevorzugten Konzentrationen im Bad.

The amounts in which the benzothiazolium compounds have to be added in order to achieve a significant improvement in the copper deposition are small and are about 0.0005 to 0.3 g / liter, preferably 0.002 to 0.05 g / liter.

Die Benzthiazolium-Verbindungen sind an sich bekannt oder können nach an sich bekannten Verfahren beispielsweise wie folgt hergestellt werden.The benzothiazolium compounds are known per se or can be prepared, for example, as follows by processes known per se.

Zunächst wird das entsprechende Benzthiazolderivat am Stickstoff alkyliert, dieser Ring mit Hydrazin-hydrat geöffnet und mit Diaalkylaminobenzoylchlorid zum gewünschten Produkt umgesetzt.First, the corresponding benzothiazole derivative is alkylated on nitrogen, this ring is opened with hydrazine hydrate and converted to the desired product with diaalkylaminobenzoyl chloride.
