Primary ExaminerG. L. Kaplan Attorney-Joseph F. Padlon [57] ABSTRACT Acid aqueous electrolytes for the deposition of bright, low-tension, ductile copper coatings containing organo selenium compounds are used.
5 Claims, No Drawings ACID GA-LVANIC COP-PER BATH The invention relates to an acid aqueous electrolyte for the deposition of bright, low-tension, ductile copper coatings.
It is known that certain organic substances can be added in small quantities to acid copper electrolytes, particularly the most widely used sulfuric acid types, in order to obtain bright copper coatings instead of a crystalline, dull deposition. There have been proposed for this-purpose chiefly organic thio compounds, such as thio-alkanosulfonic acids (German Pat. No. 1,037,801), derivatires of acid sulfur containing phosphorus derivatives (German Pat. No. 1,168,208, No. 1,196,464, No. 1,201,152), and organic sulfides containing at least one sulfonic acid in mixture or in chemical bond with a polyether (German Pat. application No. 1,521,062).
These thio compounds, however, often adversely affect the working of the acid electrolytes and the properties of the copper precipitates deposited therefrom. Thus, for example, in certain current density ranges the deposits turn out with black streaks due to the formation of copper sulfide, or there are deposited coatings having a high hardness or high internal'macro tensions, which show an inferior corrosion behavior, especially under mechanical stresses. Many of the organic thio compounds, moreover, are very critical in their proportioning and must be added to the electrolyte in a very narrow concentration range if coatings with constant properties are to be obtained.
The problem underlying the invention herein, therefore, is to prevent the formation of black, streaky depositions and to make possible the precipitation of lustrous, low tension and ductile copper depositions of high anti-corrosion value over a wide current density range.
This problem is solved according to the present invention by using an acid aqueous copper electrolyte which is characterized by a content of at least one compound of the general formula in which R and R are identical or different and represent possibly a monoor'multi-substituted aromatic, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, or heterocyclic hydrocarbon radical, at least one of the two radicals containing a sulfonic acid group, or in whichR has the above-stated meaning and R represents the cyanide or the sulfonic acid group and n is equal to l or 2, or the salts thereof.
Especially suitable for this invention are, as additions, those compounds wherein the above general formula, R is phenyl, nitrophenyl, alkylphenyl, alkoxyphenyl, carboxyphenyl, carbmethoxyphenyl, dimethylaminophenyl, alkylmercaptophenyl, aminophenyl, alkyl containing preferably 2 to 8 carbon atoms, benzyl, phenoxyalkyl, sulfonlanyl, furyl, cyclohexylalkyl, pyridylalkyl, carboxyalkyl, dihydroxpropyl, sulfoalkyl containing preferably 2 to 6 carbon atoms, sulfophenyl, alkoxy-sulfophenyl, alkylmercapto-sulfophenyl, halogen-sulfophenyl, sulfonaphthyl, disulfonaphthyl or sulfophenyl-alkyl, R represents sulfoalkyl containing preferably 2 to 6 carbon atoms, sulfophenyl, alkoxysulfophenyl, alkylmercapto-sulfophenyl, halogensulfophenyl, sulfonaphthyl, disulfonaphthyl or sulfophenylalkyl, and n is 1 or 2, or in which R represents sulfoalkyl containing preferably 2 to 6 carbon atoms,
sulfophenyl, alkoxysulfophenyl, alkylmercaptosulfophenyl, halogen-sulfophenyl, sulfonaphthyl, disulfonaphthyl, sulfophenylalkyl, R represents the cyanide or the sulfonic acid group, and n is the number 1 The compounds to be used according to the invention are known in themselves or can be produced by methods known in themselves, as described for example in HOUBEN-WEYL Methoden der organischen Chemie, volume 9 (1955), pages 972 1002 and pages 1,086 1,099.
Thus the alkylor aryl-selenoalkylsulfonic acids can be prepared by reaction of the respective alkali selenolates with sulfoalkyl halides.
The symmetrical sulfoalkylor sulfoaryl-diselenides are formed, for example, by hydrolysis of the respective selenoxyanates of the alkali-alkyl-selenosulfates.
Alkylselenocyanates and, or, respectively, alkylselenosulfates are formed by reaction of alkyl halides with alkali-selenocyanates or selenosulfates.
Aromatic selenocyanates are formed by reaction of corresponding diazonium slats with alakliselenocyanates.
The characterized compounds are used as such or better in the form of their salts, e.g. the alkali, ammonium or amino salts. As an example there may be named the sodium, potassium, ammonium and triethylammonium salt. The following table lists compounds to be used according to the invention:
