Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electronic electroplating, and in particular relates to a palladium-nickel alloy electroplating solution. Background Art

[0002] Palladium-nickel alloy plating (80% palladium and 20% nickel) replaces pure gold plating or hard gold plating, and can meet the quality standards of gold plating in terms of contact resistance, brazing, wear resistance, ductility and corrosion resistance. At the same time, it can save about 25% of precious metals. Therefore, the relative stability of the two metal contents in the palladium-nickel alloy plating is crucial.

[0003] In recent years, with the vigorous development of the electronics industry, the various electrical properties, physical properties and corrosion resistance of electronic components have extremely high requirements. While electronic electroplating is developing rapidly in scale and intelligence, cost reduction and efficiency improvement are also the inevitable choice of the industry. Now that the price of gold is high, the best plating layer to replace gold plating is still palladium-nickel alloy plating.

[0004] The stability of the traditional palladium-nickel alloy electroplating process is insufficient in the following aspects: 1. Most of them use palladium chloride (or palladium chloride ammonia) as the main salt, but its disadvantages are: chloride ions are oxidized into chlorine gas or other chlorates at the anode, which have an oxidizing effect on other organic matter in the plating solution; if the residual chloride ions on the coating are not completely washed away in the water washing tank, the corrosion resistance of the alloy coating will be affected, resulting in failure of the salt spray test. Therefore, tetraammine palladium sulfate is now used as the main salt.

[0005] 2. The traditional process uses nickel chloride or nickel sulfate as nickel salt, which causes the alloy coating to have large internal stress and is prone to cracking. However, the use of nickel sulfamate as nickel salt reduces the internal stress of the coating and makes the coating crystallization more uniform and delicate.

[0006] 3. Traditional processes rarely use organic complexing agents. Instead, they rely mainly on ammonia water to stabilize the plating solution. At 50-60°C, the pH value is high and ammonia water is volatile, making the plating solution unstable. At the same time, the odor is strong and the production environment is poor.

[0007] 4. Traditional processes generally use weaker brighteners such as benzene sulfonate, naphthalene sulfonate, sodium saccharin, sodium sulfonate benzaldehyde, etc. The added amount is large and it is easy to fog. The alloy coating has a high sulfur content and contains more organic matter, which affects the appearance and corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0008] 5. The traditional process has a fatal disadvantage due to the lack of chelating agent: after the newly prepared plating solution has been used for a period of time, or after a week of shutdown, the palladium content in the coating will drop significantly, sometimes to 30-40%. Even if more palladium chloride is added, the palladium content in the coating cannot be increased to about 80%. The plating solution can only be scrapped and the palladium salt recovered, causing great losses.

[0009] In summary, the traditional palladium-nickel alloy electroplating process cannot meet the process stability requirements required for modern intelligent large-scale production. Summary of the invention

[0010] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a palladium-nickel alloy electroplating solution. The palladium-nickel alloy coating produced by the palladium-nickel alloy electroplating solution can not only replace the gold coating and meet the electrical properties and various physical properties of the coating, but also meet the process stability requirements required for modern intelligent large-scale production.

[0011] The technical solution provided by the present invention is: a palladium-nickel alloy electroplating solution, which is composed of: 45-55g / L tetraammine palladium sulfate, 30-40g / L nickel sulfamate, 120-160g / L ammonium sulfate, 20-40g / L urea, 20-40mI / L complexing agent, 3-6mI / L light shell agent, 1-2mI / L wetting agent and the balance of water. The complexing agent is composed of component A, component B and water, component A is a hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl compound of an organic amine, and component B is a high molecular weight organic amine polyurea quaternary ammonium salt cationic compound.

[0012] The present invention adopts two types of complexing agents, AB, to stabilize the plating solution. The type A complexing agent refers to hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl compounds of ethylenediamine, polyene polyamine, and polyethylene imine substances, such as pentahydroxyethyl diethylenetriamine, tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, and polyethylene imine hydroxyethyl compounds (molecular weight of about 1500). The addition amount of the type A complexing agent is 5-15g / L, and generally 8-12g / L.

[0013] The B-type complexing agent of the present invention is an organic amine polyurea quaternary ammonium salt cationic compound, and its molecular weight is between 2000-3000. Its structure is as follows: NN dimethyl propylamine or NN dimethyl ethylenediamine reacts with urea to deaminize to generate amine urea N(CH3)2-CH2-CH2-CH2-NHCONH-CH2-CH2-CH2-N(CH3)2, and then reacts with crosslinking agent dichloroethyl ether or dichloroethane to generate a high molecular polyurea quaternary ammonium salt cationic compound. On the basis of screening, the organic amine of the present invention is selected from N,N dimethyl ethylenediamine, and the crosslinking agent is selected from dichloroethane, and it is named as B complexing agent, and its content in the electroplating solution is 3-4g / L.

[0014] Two types of complexing agents, AB, are mixed and used, with the composition of 30-40% of type A, 10-20% of type B, and the rest is water. The amount added to the electroplating solution is 20-40ml / L. Based on long-term experience, the complexing agent consumption is 1500-2000ml / KAH.

[0015] The brightener used in the present invention is a highly polar and highly adsorbent heterocyclic derivative of pyridine, thiazole and imidazole, such as benzyl nicotinate, trigonelline, 2-vinyl-1-pyridinepropanesulfonic acid ylide, trans-3-(3-pyridyl)allylic acid, tetrahydrothiazolidinethione, methylthioimidazole, etc. In the brightener, the total amount of various heterocyclic derivatives is about 15%, and the rest is water. The brightener dosage in the plating solution is 3-6 ml / L.

[0016] According to long-term experience, the consumption of brightener is 300-500ml / KAH.

[0017] The present invention adopts a low-foaming wetting agent, which is composed of 20% sodium monoisooctyl sulfosuccinate, 5% sodium 2-ethylhexyl sulfonate, and the rest water, with an addition amount of 1-2 ml / L and a consumption of 30-40 ml / KAH, so as to make the surface tension lower than 45 millinewtons / meter and reduce the porosity of the coating.

[0018] The palladium-nickel alloy plating layer produced by the palladium-nickel alloy electroplating solution of the present invention can not only replace the gold plating layer, meet the electrical properties and various physical properties of the plating layer, but also meet the process stability requirements required for modern intelligent large-scale production. It meets the electrical properties and various physical properties of the gold plating layer. It can also save about 25% of precious metals. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The invention discloses a palladium-nickel alloy electroplating solution, which is composed of 45-55 g / L tetraammine palladium sulfate, 30-40 g / L nickel sulfamate, 120-160 g / L ammonium sulfate, 20-40 g / L urea, 20-40 ml / L complexing agent, 3-6 ml / L light shell agent, 1-2 ml / L wetting agent and the balance of water. The complexing agent is composed of component A, component B and water, component A is a hydroxyethyl or hydroxypropyl compound of an organic amine, and component B is a high molecular weight organic amine polyurea quaternary ammonium salt cationic compound.

[0020] The present invention uses tetraammine palladium sulfate instead of palladium chloride, which prevents chloride ions from being oxidized on the anode to generate chlorine gas or other chlorates, and prevents residual chloride ions from affecting the corrosion resistance of the coating due to subsequent incomplete washing.

[0021] The present invention adopts nickel sulfamate as the nickel salt. In the field of electronic electroplating, the plating layer obtained by using nickel sulfamate is dense and fine, and has better ductility and brazing property.

[0022] The present invention adopts ammonium sulfate as a conductive salt, and its content is 120-160 g / L, and is designed for production operation to maintain a low ammonia content (30-50 g / L) of the plating solution. Under a neutral condition of pH 6.8-7.5, ammonia is not easy to volatilize and lose. At the same time, ammonium sulfate serves as a palladium and nickel coordination source to initially form palladium ammine complex ions and nickel ammine complex ions, thereby avoiding the formation of hydroxide precipitation under neutral conditions.

[0023] The present invention uses urea as a buffer and stabilizer. Urea has a certain reducing property, which is beneficial to the reduction of palladium ammine complex ions; its decomposition products are beneficial to stabilize the pH value of the plating solution. In the existing literature, there is no finding that urea is used as a buffer and stabilizer in palladium nickel electroplating solution. According to long-term experience, the consumption of urea is about 2000g / KAH. (KAH is kiloampere hour, the same below) The present invention adopts two types of complexing agents, AB, to stabilize the plating solution. The type A complexing agent (complexing agent A) refers to hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl compounds of ethylenediamine, polyene polyamine, and polyethyleneimine. Such as pentahydroxyethyl diethylenetriamine, tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, and polyethyleneimine hydroxyethyl compounds (molecular weight of about 1500). This type of substance has a small molecular weight and is easy to form mixed coordination ions with nickel ammine complex ions to inhibit the precipitation of nickel. Because the stability constants of palladium ammonia, nickel ammine complex ions, and many complexing agent ligands cannot be found, they can only be screened through experiments. Experiments have shown that in the mixed ligand system formed by complexing agents such as citrate, tartrate, maleate, disodium EDTA, sodium nitrilotriacetate, HEDP, trisodium thiocyanate, etc., with palladium ammine complex ions and nickel ammine complex ions, palladium has no obvious precipitation advantage. The addition amount of type A complexing agent is 5-15g / L, and generally 8-12g / L is used.

[0024] The class B complexing agent of the present invention is an organic amine polyurea quaternary ammonium salt cationic compound, and its molecular weight is between 2000-3000. Its structure is as follows: NN dimethyl propylamine or NN dimethyl ethylenediamine reacts with urea to generate amine urea N(CH3)2-CH2-CH2-CH2-NHCONH-CH2-CH2-CH2-N(CH3)2, and then reacts with a cross-linking agent dichloroethyl ether or dichloroethylene to generate a high molecular weight polyurea quaternary ammonium salt cationic compound. Based on screening, the organic amine of the present invention is selected from N,N dimethyl ethylenediamine, and the cross-linking agent is selected from dichloroethylene. The complexing agent of type B is named complexing agent B, and its content in the plating solution is 3-4g / L. Complexing agent B has good dispersing ability for the mixed coordination system and can significantly widen the current density distribution range: 1. It increases the upper limit of current density and avoids scorching, peeling and cracking in the high current area; 2. It widens the lower limit of current density, so that the low current density area (deep hole of the workpiece) can be well plated. Complexing agent B ensures the stable operation of high-speed electroplating. The content of type B complexing agent cannot be too high, which will affect the overall current efficiency and pH stability.

[0025] Two types of complexing agents, AB, are mixed and used, with the composition of 30-40% of type A, 10-20% of type B, and the rest is water. The amount added to the electroplating solution is 20-40ml / L. Based on long-term experience, the complexing agent consumption is 1500-2000ml / KAH.

[0026] The brightener used in the present invention is a highly polar and highly adsorbent heterocyclic derivative of pyridine, thiazole and imidazole, such as benzyl nicotinate, fenugreek alkali, 2-vinyl-1-pyridine propane sulfonic acid ylide, trans-3-(3-pyridyl)allylic acid, tetrahydrothiazolidinethione, methylthioimidazole and the like. Conventional phenylsulfonates, naphthalenesulfonates and benzaldehydesulfonates can only plate misty or semi-bright palladium-nickel alloy coatings, and the dosage is very large, generally 5-10 g / L, resulting in a large sulfur content in the coating, and a lot of organic inclusions, which affects the appearance and corrosion resistance of the coating. The brightener used in the present invention can increase cathode polarization, refine grains, and make the alloy coating smooth and bright. In the brightener, the total amount of various heterocyclic derivatives is about 15%, and the rest is water. The brightener dosage in the electroplating solution is 3-6 ml / L.

[0027] According to long-term experience, the consumption of brightener is 300-500ml / KAH.

[0028] The present invention adopts a low-foaming wetting agent, which is composed of 20% sodium monoisooctyl sulfosuccinate, 5% sodium 2-ethylhexyl sulfonate, and the rest water, with an addition amount of 1-2 ml / L and a consumption of 30-40 ml / KAH, so as to make the surface tension lower than 45 millinewtons / meter and reduce the porosity of the coating.

[0029] The present invention uses the above-mentioned palladium-nickel alloy electroplating solution to plate palladium-nickel alloy, comprising the following steps: terminal substrate degreasing, acid activation, electroplating semi-bright sulfamate nickel, electroplating sulfamate nickel-phosphorus alloy, electroplating palladium-nickel alloy, sealing, and drying; using titanium anode as anode, electroplating the treated terminal substrate, and the pH of the electroplating solution is 6.8-7.5. The process specifications are as follows: High-speed palladium-nickel alloy electroplating process specification of the present invention Temperature 50-60℃ PH 6.8-7.5 Anode Insoluble Titanium Anode Cathode current density 20-50A Stirring strong air stirring and liquid flow Deposition rate 20A / dm2 0.9 microns / minute Current efficiency 90~95% Maintenance method: 1.

[0030] 2. The temperature and pH value are adjusted according to online monitoring. Dilute sulfuric acid and ammonia water are used to adjust the pH value.

[0031] 3. Complexing agent, brightener, wetting agent and urea should be added according to the kiloampere-hour amount set by the automatic adding machine.

[0032] 4. The control of current depends on the complexity and thickness requirements of the workpiece, and the technicians control it based on experience.

[0033] 5. When the ratio of complexing agent and brightener is out of balance, the Hull cell test should be used to adjust the dosage.

[0034] The performance comparison of the palladium-nickel alloy coating obtained by the present invention and the pure gold coating is shown in Table 1.
