2、 protection 而“Electroplating”就是:Electroplating is the process of depositing a metallic coating upon a negatively charged electrode by the passage of an electric current 電鍍是一種將金屬沉積在帶負電的電極上的過程.一般工業界常用的電鍍金屬如表1,表1,TypicalElectrodeposited MetalsUsed inSurface Finishing Brass Palladium Cadmium Palladium-N

5、(Anode):電解用陽極,可分為可溶性或非可溶性電極.可溶性陽極因電解而溶解,作為補充金屬離子在陰極析出的量為目的,非可溶性電極其材質甚多,如碳極(Carbon anode)陶瓷或鈦合金底材塗裝貴金屬氧化物或白金鈮網等。,【4】電鍍化學反應 電鍍槽內的化學反應分陰極反應如Fig2及陽極反應 Fig3。陰極反應,鍍層會沉積(deposit)在底材上,附產品是氫氣等。陽極則是“反電鍍反應”亦是電解反應可溶性陽極在電鍍過程中解離成金屬離子,而不溶性陽極只產生氧氣,本身并無解離發生,+,-,-,+,Anode,Cathode,-,-,+,+,Figure1:Schemati of the plati

7、Connectors電鍍的特異性,一般用在connector industry的電鍍工程是鍍鎳(Nickel),鍍金鈷合金(Gold/Cobalt alloy),鍍鈀鎳合金(Palladium-Nickel alloy),及鍍錫鉛合金(Tin/Lead alloy)等工藝。(1)Nickel Plating 鍍鎳是應用在電鍍底層,因為可提供對環境腐蝕的抵抗力,且防止銅合金底材的銅、鋅擴散,因為電鍍后的端子經儲藏過一段長時間后,會被覆蓋一層來自外界的氧化膜包括氧化鋅、氧化銅或硫化銅,導致可靠性降低而鋅或銅的氧化會因鎳當擴散障礙(diffusion barrier)而降低。其三的原因是在鍍金區打鎳
8、底可改善金接觸區的耐磨性。其四也因鎳層的存在使porosity問題減少嚴重程度,參考Figure4,2.Gold Alloy Plating 金是一種貴重金屬,本身不易與它種物質發生反應,也不與空氣反應,所以也不易在表面形成氧化物或污染的膜層,電流很容易穿越過去,因此當connector需要handle低層次(low-level)的信號電壓和電流使其具有高可靠度的信賴性必須選用鍍金。純金本身的硬度極低故為增加wear res stance我們會在鍍液內添加微量的鈷,使其在鍍層共同析出鈷約占0.15%至0.25%,而鍍層的硬度由低于50 knoop增加至200knoop,3.PdNi Plati
9、ng 鈀鎳合金電鍍因本身密度比硬金小(11.2 v.s 17.5)、硬度、延展性、多也性都遠優于金,陰抗電陰亦與金相近,原料价線遠低于金(鈀鎳合金鍍層與金鍍層相比,成本可降低3070%)是一種代金鍍層,如果在Pd/Ni鍍層再加上一層閃亮薄金鍍層,不但其性能獲得改善,并且符合客戶喜愛金色外觀的心理。4.Tin/Lead Plating 錫鉛電鍍顧名思義是為改善connector的焊接性(solderability)而設計。,三.選擇性電鍍,在connectors的貴重金屬電鍍上常選用遮蔽性罩頭來達成省金的目的,罩頭制造的廳特更是know-how的所在。以其應用的技朮,可概分2種,一是maskin
10、g如Figure5 Spot plating,另一種則是brush plating,其工作原理如Figure6,其效果如 Figure7a,7b,四.電鍍工站的簡介,良好的電鍍皮膜須具備a.密著性的確保b.具備色深,緻密,連續性且美觀c.均一電著性且被覆力優良d.無殘留應力且机械強度高e.化學性安定且耐葯品性高,參考Figure8電鍍所涉及的工站相當的多,需控制的項目亦極繁雜,如各鍍液的濃度、PH、過濾、溫度、走速、電流等等,一般可依其止的,而概分如下:【1】清洗脫脂:去除油污以待電鍍的准備【2】酸活化:將氧化膜由被鍍物去除,提供新鮮的表面,以增進附著性【3】各電鍍槽:提供各机能性電鍍所需的葯
11、水【4】水洗:阻止前制程的葯水沾附在端子上而污染了后制程的槽液【5】QA:提供制程的管制,皮膜厚度,焊錫性的測量一個優良的電鍍制程:除了良好的電鍍机外,仍需有化學實驗室提供正確的分析,嚴格的現場管理,SOP的作業,QA的協助,新技朮的開發,才能構筑成功的電鍍工站。,UNREEL,ELECTROCLEAN,RINSE,ACID ACTIVATE,RINSE,NICKEL PLATE,RINSE,PdNi PLATE,RINSE,SELECTIVE GOLD,GOLD RECOVERY,RINSE,SnPb PLATE,RINSE,HOT RINSE,HOT AIR DRY,REEL,REEL-T

27、.Most of the cross sections used in this book will also have copper overplating.PROBABLE CAUSEIn cases in which a nickel underplate is used,the first thing to do in seeking the cause of poor adhesion is to look for nickel on the underside of the peeled-off gold foil,If Ni is present,the failure is l
