TLDR
In this paper, the univalent copper ions in the plating bath are stably subjected to complex formation to suppress the substitution reaction of copper and the precipitation of a copper compound.
Abstract
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tin-copper alloy electroplating bath which contains one or >=2 kinds selected from at least a water-soluble tin salt, water-soluble copper salt inorganic acid, and organic acid as well as their water-soluble salts and which contains thiourea and its derivative, 2-mercapto group-containing aromatic compound and nonionic surfactant and a plating method using the same. SOLUTION: The univalent copper ions in the plating bath are stably subjected to complex formation to suppress the substitution reaction of copper and the precipitation of a copper compound, by which the management of the bath may be made easy and the stability of the bath may be enhanced. The tin-copper alloy plating film which imparts effective solderability to parts constituting electronic apparatus, such as chip parts, terminal parts, pressed parts, crystal oscillators, bumps, connectors, connector pins, lead frames, various hoop materials, lead pins of packages, pin grid arrays, ball grid arrays and circuits of printed circuit boards and is effective for etching resist may be eventually formed as a substitute for tin-lead alloy plating.
