Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for selective electroplating of metal surfaces, in particular of smooth, flat-punched or die-cut Metal bands, according to the preamble of claim 1 and a system for implementation this procedure.
- the base material e.g. E-copper, bronze, brass, nickel silver, iron alloys to achieve the desired good surface properties, such as good contact, bondability, solderability, Wear and corrosion resistance, electroplated.
- the coating only at selected points of the surface as a strip or spot applied galvanically, all geometric figures are possible. In particular, by the increasing miniaturization of the components is when applying Such coatings have a high selectivity with high precision edge limitation selectively coated surfaces required.
- Selective galvanic coatings can be achieved by a whole range of different Produce processes in which the non-coated surface areas usually initially covered by a suitable masking and not masked areas are then electroplated. Only in the The simplest selective coating process makes the metal easy even without masking by edge-gripping by controlled partial immersion in a suitable electrolyte galvanically coated. With this simple coating method are on the Surface but no stripes or spots produced.
- the most widely used selective coating process becomes endless movable masking bands of rubber or other plastic firmly on the pressed surface areas not to be coated and then only the remaining areas galvanically coated.
- the selective systems can be in wheel form may be formed standing or lying wheels arranged. You can, however be designed as a straight or curved flow cell (Rainbow cell).
- the achievable precision is more than 0.1 mm in general, however, especially for the Semiconductor technology not sufficient.
- a special form of this coating process is the so-called MYLAR process in which as a masking for the non-coated surface areas a thin Mylar film is pressed onto the metal strip after the coating pass reusable for a limited time.
- MYLAR process in which as a masking for the non-coated surface areas a thin Mylar film is pressed onto the metal strip after the coating pass reusable for a limited time.
- spot coating is a rubber or Plastic mask used. Unlike the moving masking method However, a standing mask is opened to collect a metal band. Subsequently wid the mask closed and pressed firmly on the retracted resting metal band. After galvanic coating with the appropriate coating time is the mask is opened again and a still uncoated new piece of metal band becomes Retracted coating.
- This process works quasi-continuously as the metal band in front of and behind the so-called spot cell continuously in a memory in or out runs out to him. However, only low belt speeds are achievable, whereby an economical electroplating is often called into question. With gold and silver Although the desired high precision of 0.1 mm can be achieved, tin and tin-lead coatings however, often can not be produced with the desired precision.
- the metal strip to be coated becomes pressed onto a porous electrolyte absorbing an electrolyte, on the Opposite an insoluble anode sits.
- the galvanic coating takes place only at the Place that comes in contact with the porous non-conductor. It can be especially good Edges and die-cut metal surfaces are coated. Spots and stripes in the Mitten Scheme a smooth flat metal band are not possible or in stripes not achievable with the desired selectivity.
- the brush coating process is especially used in the connector area.
- the laser-assisted coating may also be mentioned, the technologically still completely insignificant.
- this procedure is a Non-contact work with precision in the micrometer range and highest So far, a technical application fails due to the fact that the This technique required completely new electrolytes not to be available. About that In addition, there are still plenty of powerful solid-state lasers missing.
- the structured Ressist application is mentioned, however is mainly used only for the selective etching of surfaces.
- the entire surface is coated with a liquid resist, the then dried, selectively exposed and developed.
- the resulting exposed metal surfaces may then be electrochemically or chemically etched or else also be electroplated.
- the organic resist coating removed from the metal surface, so that the structured coating or the etched metal surface remains. Because of this Although very high precision can be achieved in processes, the process is correct expensive.
