Description

Plating basket {plating basket}

The present invention relates to a basket for plating, and more particularly, to a plating basket capable of easily proceeding an electroless plating operation for manufacturing various thin film circuit boards such as a printed circuit board (PCB).

In general, various thin film circuit boards, such as a printed circuit board (PCB), are manufactured through a plating process.

The plating process is to form a plating layer (metal thin film layer) for imparting electrical characteristics to a substrate for manufacturing a circuit board, that is, a thin film-like plated body, and is mainly performed by electroless plating (or electrolytic plating).

The electroless plating operation is carried out in a state where the thin film-like plated bodies are placed in the plating tank by placing several sheets on the side of the plating basket.

Therefore, the plating basket should not only be able to quickly mount (or unmount) a plurality of thin film-like plates, but also have a structure that can be contained so as not to cause interference due to contact between the thin film-like plates. It is important to provide.

However, the above-described conventional plating baskets support only three portions (bottom and left / right) of the edge when the thin film-shaped plated bodies are inserted from top to bottom (approximately “U” shaped). Is made of.

As described above, a basket having a structure in which only a part of the edges of the thin film-shaped plated body is supported is difficult to be contained in a flat unfolded state in which a plurality of thin-film plated bodies are erected.

Therefore, as the thin film-like plated bodies are abnormally bent or deformed during the electroless plating operation, interference phenomenon due to contact may occur frequently, which may be a factor causing excessive defect quality.

In particular, the interference caused by the contact is mostly caused by an abnormally curved or deformed portion of an unsupported portion, that is, an upper portion of the edge of the thin film-shaped plated bodies.

Moreover, in recent years, since thin-film circuit boards such as PCBs are gradually manufactured to be extremely thin (approximately 0.04 millimeters to 0.06 millimeters), they can be more easily bent or deformed in the state contained in the basket side.

Therefore, the conventional baskets which support only a part of the edges of the thin film-like plated bodies as described above frequently generate interference between the thin-film plated bodies during the plating operation, and thus it is difficult to expect satisfactory workability and plating quality.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems,
