Problems solved by technology

After the 1950s, there was a patent for using thiourea or thiourea together with dextrin, mercaptobenzothiazole and other substances as brighteners for acidic sulfate copper plating. Although these additives can make the coating bright and the grains fine, However, the mechanical properties of the coating cannot meet the requirements, such as: additives such as gelatin lead to inclusions in the coating, brittleness and porosity of the coating increase; while additives composed of thiourea will greatly reduce the softness of the coating, and it is easy to delaminate and reduce the mechanical properties of the coating.
The plating performance of the electroplating solution in the existing industry has been difficult to meet the copper plating requirements for high-density and high-precision circuit boards

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electroplating, in particular to a high-density and high-precision copper electroplating process for printed circuit boards used in the copper plating process in circuit board production and manufacturing. Background technique [0002] As early as the beginning of this century, it was discovered that substances such as gelatin, glycine, cystine and thiourea can make copper sulfate plating solutions obtain bright coatings. After the 1950s, there were patents for using thiourea or thiourea together with dextrin, mercaptobenzothiazole and other substances as acidic sulfate copper plating brighteners. Although these additives can make the coating bright and the grains refined, However, the mechanical properties of the coating cannot meet the requirements. For example, additives such as gelatin lead to inclusions in the coating, increasing the brittleness and porosity of the coating; and additives composed of thiourea w...
