7 Claims, N0 Drawings BRIGHT SOLDER PLATING BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the electrodeposition of solder on a base metal. More specifically, it relates to the electrodeposition of mirror bright solder.
The two most common methods of obtaininga layer of solder on a substrate are melt-plating and electroplating. The melt-plating technique is undesirable 'for many applications because of the high temperatures required and because the thickness of the deposited layer is uneven and difficult to control. As a result of these shortcomings, electroplating techniques have become more and more important particularly with the advent of the printed circuit industry. Conventional techniques for electroplating solder provide an electrolyte containing divalent tin and divalent lead, commonly as the fluoborate salts, in addition to excess fluoboric acid and formaldehyde. Summaries of both the electroplating and melt-plating processes are set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,661,730, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an aqueous acidic composition suitable for plating a bright tin-lead alloy aromatic disulfonic acid or salt, and a surfactant comof high solderability. In addition, it provides a method of plating such an alloy on a base metal surface.
One of the major problems in solder plating is that slight variations in the bath composition, particularly variations in the ratio of the tin to lead in the bath, will result in unsatisfactory products. Specifically, if the tin and lead are not within the proper ratios, the resulting alloy will not have the desired crystal structure and, as a result, when melted, the deposit will not effectively solder the base metal to a second metal. In the past, the only reliable means for determining whether a given deposit was, in fact, solderable was to melt an actual plated sample and test the sample for adhesion. The present invention, in addition to providing a mirrorbright solder plate, also provides a means for visually determining whether the deposit is acceptable without actually melting it. When the bright, low-haze deposits ofour invention are obtained, good solderability can be reliably predicted. This is a valuable feature from the quality control standpoint.
The plating composition of this invention contains between 3.5 and 60 grams per liter of divalent tin, preferably between 12 and 30 grams per liter. It also contains divalent lead in a range of between 30 and 4 5 weight percent, based on the total of the tin and lead in the bath. Since lead is insoluble in the presence of most anions, care must be taken not to include any anions in the bath which would precipitate the lead. While other soluble compounds may be used, the preferred compound to be added to the bath are the fluoborate salts of tin and lead. Less preferred are the methane bination.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Formaldehyde should be present in the composition in an amount between 6 and 12 grams perliter, preferably in an amount between 8 and 10 grams per liter. It. is conveniently added as formalin, a 37 percent aqueous solution of formaldehyde. The aryl primary amine should be present in an amount of at least 0.1 grams per liter, preferably between 0.1 and 0.9 grams per liter, and most preferably between 0.3 and 0.6 grams per liter. Amines suitable for this purpose may be represented by the following formula:
R NHz wherein R is selected from a group consisting of alkyl and hydrogen; Ar is an aryl radical having up to 2 fused rings substituted or not with alkyl or alkoxy groups having up to 4 carbon atoms or halide; and wherein the two substituents of the above formulaare ortho to each other. The condensation product therefore may. be eview d PzUleesae formula Ar Rs It has been found that th condensaTion product of 2-hydroxy naphthalene-l-carboxaldehyde and oethylaniline is the preferred compound of this type since it minimizes the amount of formaldahyde required in the electrolytic solution. This bath compo nent should be present in an amount of from 0.001 grams per liter up to the solubility limits of the solution. Normally, the concentration will be between 0.01 and 0.1 grams per liter. The product of the above mentioned condensation reaction has the following structural formula:
Methods for the preparation of such condensation products may be found in Chemistry of the Carbon- Nitrogen Double Bond, Sol Patai, Editor, Inter Science (1970), or in similar books on organic-nitrogen chemistry.
The polynuclear aromatic disulfonic acid component must have at least two fused aromatic rings and two sulfonic acid or sulfonate substituents. in the case of the naphthalene derivative, naphthalene-2,7 disulfonic acid disodium salt is preferred. While only a very small amount of this component is necessary in order to obtain a bright deposit, if it is omitted inferior results are obtained. Amounts ranging from less than 0.001 grams per liter up to 0.02 grams per liter are sufficient while amounts between 0.001 and 0.005 grams per liter are preferred.
The surfactant combination necessary to obtain a bright solder deposit must include an anionic surfactant, a nonionic surfactant, as well as an amphoteric surfactant. Suitable anionic and amphoteric surface active agents may be selected from any of those found in handbooks on the subject. A preferred anionic surfactant is Aerosol 22, trademark for a product manufactured by the American Cyanimid Company, and comprising a 35 percent active solution of tetrasodium N- (l,2-diocarboxyethyl )-N-octadecyl-sulfosuccinamate. Preferred amphoteric surfactants include Miranol HM a substituted imidazoline having the approximate formula:
CHzOOON a manufactured by the Miranol Chemical Company, and Triton QS-l5 manufactured by Rohm 8L Haas Company which contains the sodium salt ofa sulfonated tertiary amine. Of the non-ionic surfactants, the only one found effective is Luprintol P manufactured by BASF- Wyandotte which is a polyethoxylated benzyl phenol. The surfactants may be present in trace amounts or more.
Excess quantities of surfactants are not desirable because they provide no further improvement in the resulting solder plate. Optimum results can normally be obtained with concentrations of each of these types of surfactants ofless than 1 gram per liter. Suitable plating conditions are those conventional in the art, for example, as disclosed in the aforementioned US. patent. Typically, the temperature of the plating bath will be about room temperature or below and the current density will be at least 12 A.S.F., preferably less than 50 A.S.F., and most preferably about 30 ASP. Additional additives may be included in the bath for varying pur-- EXAMPLES In each experiment, the organics were added to a standard bath containing about 2 oz/gal (15 g/l) tin as the divalent cation, 1% oz/gal (10 g/l) lead as the divalent cation, 23 oz/gal (172.5 g/l) fluoboric acid and 2 oz/gal (15 g/l) boric acid. The pH of such a solution is below 1. The tin and lead were added as the fluoborates to avoid introduction of interfering anions.
Test panels were steel having a polished copper plate of approximately 50 millionths of an inch thick. Test circuit boards were copper-plated and covered with a resist except for 8 parallel lines having thru-holes at each end thereof.
HNCEA is a shorthand notation for the condensation product of 2-hydroxy naphthalene-l-carboxaldehyde with o-etheylaniline and NDAS is shorthand for naphthalene-2,7 disulfonic acid disodium salt.
The following were added to the standard bath:
Test panels and circuit boards were plated at 30 A.S.F. for 10 minutes at room temperature using one bagged anode, a rectifier with 5 percent ripple or less and with rocker arm agitation. The solder deposit was mirror bright and exhibited a slight haze. Similar tests without NDAS yielded solder deposits having a much more noticeable haze. When melted, the solder exhibits excellent adherence.
Additional experiments were performed varying the concentration of the ingredients. Deposit quality was found to be noticeably superior when the concentrations were within the ranges specified in the foregoing description.
