Process for the electrolytic copper plating of zinc diecasting having a reduced tendency to blister formation

Номер: US20120217166A1
Принадлежит: UMICORE GALVANOTECHNIK GMBH

In the electroplating of zinc diecastings with a copper layer, the electrolyte penetrates into the pores of the zinc diecasting. When the temperature is increased later, this leads to vaporization of the electrolyte liquid in the pores and to blistering or flaking of the copper layer. It is proposed that plating be carried out in two steps. In the first step, only a thin copper layer of less than 1 μm is applied and the plated parts are then treated at a temperature which leads to vaporization of the electrolyte liquid. The thin copper layer is still sufficiently porous for the vapour to be able to escape. Only the solid constituents of the electrolyte remain. The copper layer is then thickened to a final thickness of from about 20 to 30 μm. In this plating step, electrolyte liquid no longer penetrates into the pores of the zinc diecasting. The parts which are coated in this way display no blistering or flaking of the copper layer after storage at a temperature of 150° C.

Provided are methods of fabricating a semiconductor device and semiconductor devices fabricated thereby. In the methods, dummy recess regions may be formed between cell recess regions and a peripheral circuit region. Due to the presence of the dummy recess regions, it may be possible to reduce a concentration gradient of a suppressor contained in a plating solution near the dummy pattern region, to make the concentration of the suppressor more uniform in the cell pattern region, and to supply an electric current more effectively to the cell pattern region. As a result, a plating layer can be more uniformly formed in the cell pattern region, without void formation therein.

A self-terminating rapid process for controlled growth of platinum or platinum alloy monolayer films from a KPtCl—NaCl—NaBr electrolyte. Using the present process, platinum deposition may be quenched at potentials just negative of proton reduction by an alteration of the double layer structure induced by a saturated surface coverage of underpotential deposited hydrogen. The surface may be reactivated for platinum deposition by stepping the potential to more positive values where underpotential deposited hydrogen is oxidized and fresh sites for absorption of platinum chloride become available. Periodic pulsing of the potential enables sequential deposition of two dimensional platinum layers to fabricate films of desired thickness relevant to a range of advanced technologies, from catalysis to magnetics and electronics. 1. A self-terminating electrodeposition process for controlled growth of platinum monolayer film in an aqueous solution , the process comprising the steps of:in the aqueous solution, electrodepositing platinum or a platinum alloy onto a substrate such that a saturated underpotential deposited hydrogen layer is formed on the substrate, wherein, as the potential moves negative of an onset of proton reduction potential, a metal deposition reaction among the deposited platinum, the hydrogen layer and the aqueous solution is fully quenched or terminated, wherein the aqueous solution contains at least platinum salt; andpulsing the potential from a first value, a positive value at which no metal deposition occurs, to a second value, said second value being a more negative value than the first value, said second value being at least 0.05 V more negative or below the reversible hydrogen electrode potential of said solution, thus enabling formation on the substrate of two-dimensional platinum islands that substantially cover the substrate, said formation being followed by negligible further metal deposition on the substrate.2.
