Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Acid aqueous electrolytes for the deposition of bright, low-tension, ductile copper coatings containing organo selenium compounds are used.
  • the invention relates to an acid aqueous electrolyte for the deposition of bright, low-tension, ductile copper coatings.
  • the problem underlying the invention herein 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 sulf
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the alkali, ammonium or amino salts e.g. the sodium, potassium, ammonium and triethylammonium salt.
  • the following table lists compounds to be used according to the invention:
  • the sulfuric acid may be replaced in part or entirely by fluoroboric acid, phosphoric acid and/or other acids.
  • the electrolyte may be chloride-free or, and this is usually advantageous for improving the luster and the leveling, it may contain chlorides,such as alkali chlorides, or hydrochloric acid in quantities of from 0.001 to 0.2 g/liter.
  • the quantities in which the substances according to the invention must be added to the copper baths in order to achieve an improvement of the copper deposition are, surprisingly, very low and amount to about 0.0005 to 0.5 g/liter, preferably 0.0005 to 0.1 g/liter. With these additions one obtains a definite fining of the grain, in certain current density ranges even lustrous copper coatings.
  • the substances according to the invention are also especially suitable, in conjunction with other common luster-formers and/or wetting agents, for depositing high-luster coatings which show a great leveling of rugosities of the base material and yet are very ductile and possess a high extensibility.
  • oxygen-containing high-molecular compounds As known additives which can be used together with the substances according to the invention there are suitable primarily oxygen-containing high-molecular compounds.
  • the quantities of these substances that one adds to the copper electrolyte are about 0.01 to 20.0 g/liter, preferably 0.02 to 8.0 g/liter.
  • Table III contains examples of oxygen-containing high-molecular compounds.
  • EXAMPLE 1 Copper sulfate (CuS0 .5H O) 220 g/liter Sulfuric acid, cone. 50 g/liter Di-(ILpotassiumsulfopropyl)-diselenide 0.05 g/liter Temperature: 25C Current density: 4.0 A/dm Stock is mixed by agitation
  • EXAMPLE 2 Copper fluoroborate (Cu(BF 300 g/liter Fluoroboric acid 20 g/liter 2-(phenylseleno)-ethylsulfonate of sodium 03 g/liter Temperature: 25C Current density: 8.0 A/dm The electrolyte is agitated by injection of air
  • EXAMPLE 3 Copper sulfate (CuSO .5H O) Sulfuric acid, conc.
  • an acidic electrolyte for the electrodeposition of copper essentially consisting of water, sources of copper ions and of hydrogen ions, and a brightening composition in an amount sufficient to increase the luster of copper electrodeposited from said electrolyte, the improvement in said brightening composition which comprises at least one compound of the formula R (Se), R or a salt thereof, the amount of said compound or salt being between 0.0005 g and 0.5 g per liter of said electrolyte, in said formula R, and R being identical or different, R being a radical of monoor multi-substituted aromatic, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, or heterocyclic hydrocarbon, R being a radical of a monoor multi-substituted aromatic, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, or heterocyclic hydrocarbon, cyano or the sulfonic acid group, at least one of said R and R containing a sulfonic acid group, and n being 1 or
  • the amount of said at least one compound being not more than 0.1 g per liter of said electrolyte.
  • said sources having respective anionic moieties selected from the group consisting of sulfate, fluoborate, and phosphate.
  • R is phenyl, nitrophenyl, alkylphenyl, alkoxyphenyl, carboxyphenyl, carbmethoxyphenyl, dimethylaminophenyl), alkylmercaptophenyl, aminophenyl, alkyl containing from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, benzyl, phenoxyalkyl, sulfolanyl, furyl, cyclohexylalkyl, pyridylalkyl, carboxyalkyl, dihydroxypropyl, sulfoalkyl containing 2 to 6 carbon atoms, sulfophenyl, alkoxysulfophenyl, alkylmercapto-sulfophenyl, halogen-sulfophenyl, sulfonaphthyl, di-sulfonaphthyl or sulfophenyl-alkyl, R is s
