Via Fill and Through Hole Plating Process with Enhanced TH Microdistribution

Credits: MacDermid Inc.

The increased demand for electronic devices in recent years has led to an extensive research in the field to meet the requirements of the industry. Electrolytic copper has been an important technology in the fabrication of PCBs and semiconductors. Aqueous sulfuric acid baths are explored for filling or building up with copper structures like blind micro vias (BMV), trenches, through holes (TH), and pillar bumps. As circuit miniaturization continues, developing a process that simultaneously fills vias and plates TH with various sizes and aspect ratios, while minimizing the surface copper thickness is critical. (...)

In this paper, an optimization of recently developed innovative one step acid copper plating technology for filling vias with a minimal surface thickness and plating through holes is presented.
