Definitions
- Acid copper electroplating baths which are usually operated with organic electroplating additives often have the disadvantage that they form a considerable amount of anode sludge.
- This sludge consists of finely dispersed, probably oxidized copper particles which also reach the objects to be copper plated by electrophoresis and thereby considerably reduce the quality of the copper electrodeposits.
- the typical blue color of the acid copper baths is discolored green through the presence of these fine particles.
- Another object is to provide an electroplating bath free from colloidal impurities.
- Yet another object is to provide a method and bath for acid copper plating wherein auxiliary measures to maintain purity of the bath such as filtering, oxidation, special anodes, etc. are unnecessary.
- Another object is to provide a method for obtaining a high quality copper deposit free from impurities in an acid copper plating bath such as anode sludge particles.
- Another object is to provide an additive compound for acid copper plating baths which maintains the bath in a highly pure state.
- the novel products also produce a certain brightening effect.
- the brightness can be .improved by further adding known brighteners to the baths.
- brighteners which may be used are: thiourea and its derivatives, N-monoand di-substituted dithiocarbamic acid alkyl esters-w-sulfonic acids or their salts,
- R is a lower saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical or an aromatic hydrocarbon radical
- -Z is an azido group
- n is a whole number of at least one.
- organic sulfonic acids having at least one azido group in the molecule are the following:
- the acids are customarily used in the form of their Water-soluble salts.
- Inorganic or organic bases such as the alkali metals, ammonia, dialkylamines or dialkanolamines, may be used as salt forming components.
- the compounds according to the present invention are added to the acid copper electroplating baths in amounts of 0.05-45 gm./liter, preferably of 0.2-0.8 gm./liter.
- the operating temperatures of such baths which are usually operated within a current density range of 0 to 12.5 amp./dm. may vary within wide limits up to about 60 C.
- the bath can-be operated within atemperature range of about 15 to about 50 C.
- the useable current densities at 15 C. lie between and 4.5 amp./ dmQ at 25 C. between 0 and 8'amp./dm. and at 50 '0.” between 1 and 12.5 amp./dm.
- the copper electro- "plating bath did not discolor and retained its blue color, even after prolonged periods of'operation. Sludge'for- "mation at the copper anodes did not occur; "Neither recycling pumps, filters, or anode bags were required. Alsludge free deposit of copper was obtained.
- An acid copper electroplating bath for producing copper electrodeposits of high quality free from anode sludge comprising an aqueous acid solution of a copper salt and a' compound selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following general structural formula:
- znrR-sonn group consisting of compounds having the following general structural formula:
- An acid copper electroplating bath for producing copper electrodeposits of high quality free from anode sludge comprising an aqueous acid solution of a copper salt; a brightening agent selected from the group consisting of N-monoand di-substituted dithiocarbamic .acid alkyl ester-w-sulfonic acids and their salts, and
- An acid copper electroplating bath for producing copper electrodeposits of high quality free from anode sludge comprising an aqueous acid solution of copper sulfate, at least 0.01 gm./liter of N,N diethyl dithiocarbarnic acid ethyl 'ester-w-sodium sulfonate and 0.05 to 4.5 gm./ liter w-azido-propane sodium sulfonate.
- a method for preventing anode sludge formation and for maintaining thepurity of an acid copper plating bath which comprises the step of adding to said bath a compound selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following general structural formula:
- R is a radical selected from theg roup consisting of lower saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon and aromatic hydrocarbon radicals, Z is an azido group and n is a'wh'ole number of at least one, said compound being added in an amount suflicient to prevent sludge formation.
- a method for preventing anode sludge formation and for maintaining the purity of an acid' copper pla t ing bath which comprises the step of adding to said bath a compound selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following general structural formula:
- R is a radical selected from the group consisting of lower saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon and aromatic hydrocarbon radicals,'Z is an azido group and n is a whole number of at least one, said compound being added in an amount sufiicient to prevent sludge formation.
- a method for preventing anode sludge formation and for maintaining the purity of an acid copper plating bath and the brightness of electrodeposits obtained therefrom which comprises the step of adding to said bath brightening agents selected from the group consisting of N-monoand di-substituted dithiocarbamic acid alkyl ester-w-sulfonic acids and their salts, and 1,3,5-triazine- '2,4,6-tris-(mercapto-alkane-sulfonic acids), the amount of said brightening agent being suflicient to effect said brightening; and a compound selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following general structural formula:
- Z ERSO H] V and water soluble salts thereof wherein R is a radical selected from the group consisting of lower saturated ahphatic hydrocarbon and aromatic hydrocarbon radicals, Z is an azido group and 'n is a whole number of fate and at least 0.01 gm./liter of N,N-diethyl-dithiocarbamic'acid ethyl ester-w-sodium sulfonate as a brightening agent, the step of adding to said bath from 0.05 to 4.5 gm./liter of w-azido-propane-sodium sulfonate.
