Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass through-hole processing technology, and in particular to an optimization device, optimization method, terminal and medium for a chemical plating process. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of glass through-hole processing technology, electroless plating is a self-catalytic metal deposition process that does not require an external current. It forms a conductive metal layer (such as copper, nickel, or gold) through a chemical reduction reaction on the inner surface of the glass through-hole. The process mainly includes: first, thoroughly cleaning the glass through-hole to remove contaminants; then, forming palladium catalytic centers on the hole wall surface through sensitization and activation steps, or pre-preparing a metal seed layer using physical vapor deposition; finally, immersing the substrate in an electroless plating solution containing metal ions, a reducing agent, and a complexing agent, where a redox reaction occurs on the catalytic surface, achieving uniform metal deposition within the hole. The key to this technology lies in the deposition rate and coating quality. Therefore, existing electroless plating equipment often uses methods such as jetting and gas injection to "stir" the plating solution to control its uniformity, pH value, and temperature.

[0003] However, existing glass substrates have diverse product parameters due to variations in size, thickness, via density, and via diameter. During chemical plating, the flow direction of the plating solution is often fixed. For some glass substrates, the angle and flow rate of the plating solution are suitable when it flows through the via, allowing for efficient flow into the via. However, for glass substrates with other product parameters, the flow rate and direction of the plating solution may affect the uniformity of the plating layer within the via, resulting in slower entry and lower flow rates. This impacts processing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Summary of the Invention

[0062] See Figure 1 One embodiment of this invention discloses an optimization device for a chemical plating process, comprising a plating bath tank 10, a drive module 20, a jetting module 30, an air jetting module 40, a heating module 50, and a control module. The optimization device disclosed in this embodiment replicates the processing environment of the chemical plating process. Plating solution is injected into the plating bath tank 10. The control module automatically controls the drive module 20, jetting module 30, air jetting module 40, and heating module 50, controlling multiple processing parameters and adjusting the flow state of the plating solution during chemical plating. It can also test samples with different product parameters, optimize processing parameters, identify processing schemes that improve product quality, and increase processing efficiency.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the plating bath 10 disclosed in this embodiment is provided with a reaction tank 11 for containing the plating bath; the end of the drive module 20 is provided with a test sample to be processed, and the drive module 20 is used to move the test sample into the plating bath of the reaction tank 11 and drive the test sample to perform horizontal circular motion. The test sample disclosed in this embodiment can be a glass substrate sample, or the glass substrate to be processed can be used directly for testing. The number and position of through holes on the test sample are exactly the same as the number and position of through holes on the glass substrate to be processed. Therefore, the processing effect obtained from the test has reference value for the actual processing process and can guide operators to set more reasonable processing conditions to improve the production quality and efficiency of the product.

[0064] Specifically, the test sample is placed at the end of the drive module 20, and the drive module 20 drives the test sample to move, so as to precisely control the position and movement path of the test sample, improve the processing accuracy, and reduce the interference of adverse factors.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the spray module 30 is disposed inside the plating solution tank 10, and the spray module 30 is provided with a liquid outlet 31 that rotates in a horizontal plane. The liquid outlet 31 is used to spray plating solution into the reaction tank 11. The air jet module 40 is disposed inside the plating solution tank 10. The air jet module 40 is provided with an air outlet that rotates in a vertical plane. The air outlet is used to spray air into the reaction tank 11. The heating module 50 is disposed around the plating solution tank 10 and is used to heat the plating solution inside the plating solution tank 10. The control module is electrically connected to the drive module 20, the spray module 30, the air jet module 40, and the heating module 50.

[0066] During repeated trials, the direction of the liquid outlet 31 and the air outlet can be adjusted to control the flow path of the plating solution, and to adjust the contact angle and contact time between the plating solution and the surface of the test sample. The appropriate processing parameters such as the jet angle, jet pressure, air jet angle, air jet pressure, and heating temperature can be found with the goal of improving product quality and processing efficiency.

[0067] In summary, this embodiment reduces the electroless plating process and tests the processing parameters during the electroless plating process. It can optimize the test samples with different product parameters, find processing solutions that are conducive to improving product quality, and improve processing efficiency.

[0068] Specifically, the control module disclosed in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, and smartwatches. These devices can be wired to the drive module 20, jet module 30, jet module 40, and heating module 50 via wires, or wirelessly connected via Bluetooth antennas. Furthermore, the control module disclosed in this embodiment can be mounted on the plating tank 10 or installed independently for easy handling and operation.

[0069] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in another embodiment of this application, the drive module 20 includes a lifter 21, a rotary motor 22, a hook 23, a basket 24, and a clamp 25. The rotary motor 22 is mounted on the lifter 21. The hook 23 is connected to the rotary motor 22 via a coupling. The basket 24 is hung on the hook 23. The clamp 25 is mounted on the basket 24. The clamp 25 is used to hold test samples. Both the lifter 21 and the rotary motor 22 are electrically connected to the control module.

[0070] The drive module 20 disclosed in this embodiment can drive the rotary motor 22, hook 23, and basket 24 to move the test sample into the reaction tank 11 synchronously via the lifter 21; the rotary motor 22 drives the hook 23 and basket 24 to rotate synchronously to rotate the test sample. In other words, the drive module 20 disclosed in this embodiment can drive the test sample to perform lifting and rotation actions simultaneously, increasing flexibility, allowing the test sample to have more complete contact with the plating solution, further improving product quality and enhancing the uniformity of the plating layer.

[0071] Specifically, the lifting device 21 disclosed in this embodiment can be a DC motor or a stepper motor. A vertically arranged transmission rod or lead screw is connected to the output shaft of the lifting device 21 via a coupling. The distal end of the transmission rod or lead screw is connected to the rotary motor 22 to achieve the effect of the lifting device 21 driving the rotary motor 22 to lift. The rotary motor 22 disclosed in this embodiment can be any one of a stepper motor, a DC motor, or a servo motor. Preferably, the lifting device 21 and the rotary motor 22 can use the same type of motor to simplify the structure and reduce the production cost of the device.

[0072] Specifically, the hook 23 and basket 24 disclosed in this embodiment are detachably assembled. The basket 24 can be removed, the test sample can be fixed on the clamp 25, and then hung on the hook 23, facilitating the replacement of the test sample for repeated testing. Furthermore, the drive module 20 disclosed in this embodiment may also include a vibrating element, such as an ultrasonic generator. By setting the ultrasonic generator on the hook 23 or basket 24 and activating it at regular time intervals, the basket 24 can be intermittently excited, causing the test sample to vibrate. This reduces air bubbles on the surface and in the through-holes of the test sample, further improving product quality and enhancing the uniformity of the coating.

[0073] For example Figure 2 As shown in another embodiment of this application, the jet module 30 includes a fixed base 32, a jet pipe 33, and a first motor 34. The fixed base 32 is disposed on the bottom surface of the reaction tank 11. The jet pipe 33 is rotatably inserted into the fixed base 32. The jet pipe 33 extends vertically and has a plurality of horizontally opened liquid outlets 31. Furthermore, the jet pipe 33 has a plurality of circumferentially arranged grooves. The first motor 34 is disposed on the bottom surface of the reaction tank 11. The first motor 34 is electrically connected to the control module. A first transmission gear is disposed on the output shaft of the first motor 34, and the first transmission gear meshes with the grooves.

[0074] The fixed base 32 disclosed in this embodiment can be fixed to the inner wall of the plating tank 10 by welding or bonding. Specifically, the spray pipe 33 is assembled on the fixed base 32 on the bottom surface of the reaction tank 11, which can keep the spray pipe 33 stable. Furthermore, the spray pipe 33 is inserted into the fixed base 32, and the spray pipe 33 can be rotated by the meshing of the first motor 34 and the first transmission gear, so as to adjust the direction of the liquid outlet 31, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the processing conditions and optimizing the processing parameters.

[0075] Specifically, the spray pipe 33 disclosed in this embodiment can be screwed to the fixed base 32, or a groove with an opening at the top can be provided on the fixed base 32, and an annular protrusion can be provided on the side wall of the groove, while an annular groove can be provided on the outer side wall of the spray pipe 33. During assembly, the spray pipe 33 is inserted into the groove, and the annular protrusion engages with the annular groove, thereby connecting the spray pipe 33 to the fixed base 32. At the same time, the spray pipe 33 can rotate freely, making the position of the liquid outlet 31 adjustable and controlling the flow direction of the plating solution.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, a sealing ring can be fitted onto the spray pipe 33, with the outer side of the sealing ring abutting against the fixed base 32, thereby increasing the airtightness of the connection between the fixed base 32 and the spray pipe 33. The fixed base 32 can be hollow to allow the plating solution to be introduced.

[0077] Specifically, as another embodiment of this application, the fixed base 32 is disclosed to be annular; multiple spray pipes 33 are provided, and the multiple spray pipes 33 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed base 32 and are arranged in a ring around the test sample. Providing multiple spray pipes 33 can increase the outflow rate of the plating solution, which is beneficial for increasing the flow rate of the plating solution, increasing the flow rate, further improving the uniformity of the plating solution, and simultaneously increasing the probability of contact between the plating solution and the test sample.

[0078] In this embodiment, the annular fixed base 32 can simultaneously deliver plating solution to multiple spray pipes 33, so that the plating solution flowing out of each spray pipe 33 has the same speed, making the plating solution flow more uniform and avoiding the occurrence of local concentrations of metal particles in the plating solution being too high or too low.

[0079] For example Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the jetting module 30 includes a guide pipe 35, a flow meter 36, a filter 37, and a negative pressure pump 38. The guide pipe 35 is connected to the plating tank 10 and leads to the reaction tank 11. The flow meter 36 is connected to the guide pipe 35. The filter 37 is connected to the flow meter 36. The inlet end of the negative pressure pump 38 is connected to the filter 37, and the outlet end is connected to the jetting pipe 33. The flow meter 36 and the negative pressure pump 38 are both electrically connected to the control module.

[0080] In this embodiment, the spray module 30 continuously pumps plating solution into the reaction tank 11, and then discharges the reacted plating solution through the guide pipe 35. The solution is measured by the flow meter 36, filtered by the filter 37, and pumped back into the reaction tank 11 by the negative pressure pump 38, achieving the effect of purifying the plating solution and recycling it. Simultaneously, by monitoring the data from the flow meter 36, the flow velocity of the plating solution can be calculated, the pressure at the outlet 31 can be determined, and the spray speed and flow rate can be precisely controlled, improving the control accuracy of the device.

[0081] For example Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in another embodiment of this application, the jet module 40 includes an air pump 41, an air guide bracket 42, an air outlet pipe 43, and a second motor 44. One end of the air guide bracket 42 is connected to the air pump 41, and the other end extends to the bottom surface of the reaction tank 11. The air outlet pipe 43 is rotatably inserted into the air guide bracket 42. The air outlet pipe 43 extends horizontally and is laid flat on the bottom surface of the reaction tank 11. Several air outlets are arranged axially on the air outlet pipe 43. Several protruding teeth are arranged circumferentially on the air outlet pipe 43. The second motor 44 is located on the bottom surface of the reaction tank 11. The second motor 44 is electrically connected to the control module. A second transmission gear is arranged on the output shaft of the second motor 44, and the second transmission gear meshes with the protruding teeth.

[0082] The air pump 41 disclosed in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, commonly used air pumps such as vacuum pumps and rotary pumps. By pumping high-pressure air into the air guide support 42 and the air outlet pipe 43, high-pressure air enters the reaction tank 11, further promoting the flow of the plating solution and increasing its uniformity. Simultaneously, the direction of the air jet also affects the flow direction of the plating solution. Therefore, a second motor 44 is configured to mesh with a second transmission gear to drive the air outlet pipe 43 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the air outlet and further regulating the fluidity of the plating solution.

[0083] For example Figure 2 As shown in another embodiment of this application, the heating module 50 includes a heat exchanger 51 and a heat exchange tube 52, with the heat exchange tube 52 connected to the heat exchanger 51; and the heat exchange tube 52 is arranged around the plating solution tank 10. In this embodiment, the heat exchange tube 52 can be filled with a gaseous or liquid medium, which is heated within the heat exchanger 51. The heat is then transferred to the plating solution tank 10, causing a change in the temperature of the plating solution within the tank 10, thus achieving the effect of controlling the plating solution temperature. In this embodiment, controlling the plating solution temperature through the heating module 50 increases the controllable factors in the testing process, further improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the optimization results.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, as another embodiment of this application, a method for optimizing a chemical plating process is also disclosed, applied to the optimization apparatus for the chemical plating process described above. The method for optimizing a chemical plating process provided by this embodiment of the invention can be applied to processes such as... Figure 5In the application environment shown, terminal 102 communicates with server 104 via a network. A data storage system can store the data that server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated onto server 104, or it can be located in the cloud or on another network server. The optimization method for the electroless plating process can be executed by terminal 102 or server 104, or it can be executed collaboratively by terminal 102 and server 104. Of course, the optimization method for the electroless plating process in this embodiment can also be implemented based on the electroless plating equipment itself.

[0085] The terminal 102 can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, smart speaker, smartwatch, IoT device, or portable wearable device. IoT devices can include smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, and smart in-vehicle devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can include smartwatches, smart bracelets, and head-mounted devices, etc.

[0086] Server 104 can be an independent physical server or a service node in a blockchain system, where the service nodes form a peer-to-peer network.

[0087] In addition, server 104 can also be a server cluster consisting of multiple physical servers, which can be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDN), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0088] Terminal 102 and server 104 can be connected via Bluetooth, USB (Universal Serial Bus) or network, etc., and the present invention does not limit this connection.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the optimization method includes:

[0090] Step S10: Construct a processing parameter sample set; wherein, the processing parameter sample set includes multiple processing parameters, and the processing parameters include one or more of the following: plating solution spray velocity, plating solution spray angle, plating solution temperature, aeration velocity, and aeration angle;

[0091] Step S20: Process the test sample using the processing parameters in the processing parameter sample set to obtain a product dataset; wherein, the product dataset includes multiple product parameters, and the product parameters include at least one of coating thickness and coating surface flatness;

[0092] Step S30: Based on the product dataset, determine the optimal product parameters, and use the optimal product parameters to locate the optimal processing parameters.

[0093] In this embodiment, by establishing a sample set of processing parameters and a dataset of products, and establishing a one-to-one mapping relationship, scientific experimental methods such as the controlled variable method can be used to test product quality, identify the processing conditions corresponding to high-quality products, optimize the processing parameters in the electroless plating process, which is conducive to high-efficiency product quality, making full use of electroless plating equipment, and reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
