SINGLE STEP ELECTROLYTIC METHOD OF FILLING THROUGH HOLES IN PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS AND OTHER SUBSTRATES

A method of copper electroplating in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. The method is used for filling through-holes and micro-vias with copper. The method includes the steps of: (1) preparing an electronic substrate to receive copper electroplating thereon; (2) forming at least one of one o...

Zusammenfassung:A method of copper electroplating in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. The method is used for filling through-holes and micro-vias with copper. The method includes the steps of: (1) preparing an electronic substrate to receive copper electroplating thereon; (2) forming at least one of one or more through-holes and/or one or more micro-vias in the electronic substrate; and (3) electroplating copper in the at one or more through-holes and/or one or more micro-vias by contacting the electronic substrate with an acid copper electroplating solution. The acid copper plating solution comprises a source of copper ions; sulfuric acid; a source of chloride ions; a brightener; a wetter; and a leveler. The acid copper electroplating solution plates the one or more through-holes and/or the one or more micro-vias until metallization is complete.
