  • An electroplating layer was formed on the PCB in the same manner as in Example 1, with the exception that the electroplating process was conducted using the conventional electroplating device of FIG. 2 through the application of a unidirectional magnetic field.
  • the electroplating conditions are given in Table 1 below. TABLE 1 Conditions Ex. 1 C. Ex. 1 C. Ex.
  • FIGS. 9A to 9 C and FIGS. 10A to 10 C The SEM photographs of the cross-sections and surfaces of the PCB samples having the electroplating layer formed under the conditions shown in Table 1 are shown in FIGS. 9A to 9 C and FIGS. 10A to 10 C.
  • the plating layer of Example 1 ( FIG. 9A ) had a maximum thickness of 26 ⁇ m, and the plating layers of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 ( FIGS. 9B and 9C ) were 21 ⁇ m and 15 ⁇ m thick, respectively.
  • the reason why the plating layer of Comparative Example 2 ( FIG. 9C ) was the thinnest despite the application of the magnetic field is believed to be because the concentration of the plating solution was non-uniform due to the application of the unidirectional magnetic field and because heat was emitted from the electromagnet and thus the temperature of the plating solution increased, thus facilitating the aging of the plating solution.
  • the plating layer of Example 1 ( FIG. 10A ) had the finest texture, whereas the plating layers of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 had coarse textures, in which the texture of the plating layer of Comparative Example 2 ( FIG. 10C ) was coarser than that of the plating layer of Comparative Example 1 ( FIG. 10B ).
  • the current applied to the electrolyte solution in the absence of the external liquid flow, the copper ion is deposited on the substrate (cathode) with time. After a certain time period, the concentration of the copper ion capable of being deposited near the substrate becomes 0. At this point, the current applied to the substrate is referred to as a threshold current. In this way, when the current reaches a threshold current, the plating process does not proceed any further.
  • Example 1 As is apparent from the results in Table 1, the plating process in Example 1 was seen to be conducted for a period of time increased by about 60% compared to the plating process of Comparative Example 1 without the application of the magnetic field, and by about 25% compared to the plating process of Comparative Example 2 through the application of the unidirectional magnetic field. As such, that the plating process is conducted for a longer period of time without the external liquid flow indicates the realization of a uniform plating process on the metal wire substrate having various thicknesses.
  • the plating rate may be increased. Further, by changing the magnetic waveform, the liquid flow is increased, therefore preventing the non-uniform copper ion that has occurred in a conventional electromagnetic plating process.
  • the plating solution may be easily aged due to the non-uniform solution concentration and the generation of heat.
  • the liquid flow can be activated through various current waveforms or using permanent magnets.
  • the electromagnetic magnets less heat is generated and thus the aging of the solution may be slowed. Therefore, a uniform plating process is realized, leading to the formation of the fine circuit of the substrate.
  • the present invention provides a method of electroplating a PCB using a magnetic field having periodic directionality.
  • a periodically changeable magnetic field is applied, such that the trajectory of a metal ion is made more precise through MHD convection flow, compared to the use of a conventional unidirectional magnetic plating device.
  • it is possible to realize a process of plating a via hole having a high aspect ratio or of uniformly plating a fine pattern, even without the use of an external liquid flow device.
  • the use of a conventional plating device continuously applying the unidirectional magnetic field results in fast aging of the plating solution or in the ionic concentration of the plating solution inclined in only one direction through unidirectional Lorentz force
  • the aging of the plating solution can be prevented and the ionic concentration thereof can be made uniform thanks to the change of current waveforms using a pulse modulator/demodulator or a reverse pulse rectifier or thanks to the formation of various magnetic waveforms through the rotation of permanent magnets.
