Other operations after plating in the multilayer circuit board factory
In many large Shenzhen PCB factories, including multilayer circuit board factories, the production of electroless copper wires has been automated. The editor of the electronics factory below will let you know about other operations after plating.
So far, the deposition process of electroless copper plating has been basically completed, but before any other major processes, the processing board needs to be processed several times, which can be regarded as part of the electroless copper wire;
1. Drying: Although it may seem meaningless at first glance, thorough drying is necessary. Especially when the electroless copper wire reaches 10 microinches, the residual moisture will greatly accelerate the oxidation of the thin electroless copper layer. The final result will make the copper layer unusable. An oxidized processing board also makes any inspection of the quality of the graphic transfer very difficult. The drying operation can be achieved by any conveyor belt dryer available on the market. Another way is to leave it on the hanger after the final rinse, soak the processing board in the replacement water liquid for a few minutes, and then immerse it in the trichloroethylene or trichloroethane vapor degreaser. These two methods of drying the processed plates are very effective and are especially suitable for mass production.
2. Mechanical scrubbing: In the past few years, it has been widely used in the printed circuit board industry. Its function is to pre-process the surface of the PCB processing board to facilitate subsequent graphic transfer and electroplating. Wipe with a wet nylon brush moistened with abrasives, and a conveyor belt dryer can be installed in the wiper. A substrate that has been properly scrubbed shows a uniform surface, on which the graphics can be transferred, which can actually reduce the amount of revision required. It must be noted that in the actual scrubbing, the copper layer plated on the copper clad laminate will be eliminated. After the pattern transfer process, the cathode cleaning process before electroplating will make the subsequent etching process extremely important.
3. Flash plating of the entire circuit board of a Multilayer circuit board factory, In many Shenzhen PCB factories, this has become a standard operation: immediately after electroless copper plating, a thin layer of copper (thickness of a few hundredths of a few microinches) is immediately electroplated . It must be remembered that this additional operation requires that the multilayer circuit board processing board be hung on the hanger again. The purpose of flash plating is twofold: one is to extend the storage time. Second, because the inside of the hole is sometimes oxidized, flash plating can ensure the perfect inside of the hole. If a slight etching is required as part of the cleaning process before copper electroplating, flash plating can also be used, which can ensure that there are no voids in the hole after the slight etching. This flash plating process will be discussed further in the section on copper electroplating.
In order to improve the understanding of electroless copper wire, it is necessary to have a relevant understanding of the operations involved. Multilayer circuit board factories are PCB batch manufacturers, and every process operation is restful.
