[0002] The electroplating test tank is the most basic experimental equipment in the electroplating equipment. Its main function is to install the electroplating solution and provide a device to facilitate the fixing of the electroplating anode and the electroplating cathode. The electroplating test tank generally includes a single-sided electroplating test tank and a double-sided electroplating test tank, so as to simulate the electroplating effect of the production line according to the manual process. The electroplating test tank can be used to evaluate the effect of the electroplating solution, the impact of the current density, the electrode distance, etc. on the electroplating coating such as surface electroplating and through-hole electroplating.
[0003] At present, the existing technology still has the following areas for improvement: In the existing technology, due to the small size of the experimental tank, the current distribution at various positions from the anode plate to the sample plate is uneven, and the edge current density is greater than the middle current density. This will cause the problem of uneven electroplated copper thickness, making it difficult to achieve the expected electroplating effect. Too thick areas are prone to defects such as roughness, nodules, and shedding, while too thin areas have poor gloss, dark and foggy appearance, and are easy to expose the bottom during the light emission and passivation process. This phenomenon of uneven coating thickness often leads to a large proportion of edge effects in such a small experimental tank, and the negative impact on copper thickness and coating effect is far greater than that of the actual production line, and the reliability of experimental data is reduced.
