니켈 표면처리 공정에서 전류밀도에 따라 니켈의 전착두께가 증가되었으며, 증가폭은 $6{\sim}10A/dm^2$에서 저전류보다 높게 나타났다. 전류밀도를 측정하기 위해 Hull-cell 분석을 수행 하였다. 최적 공정온도는 $60^{\circ}C$, pH는 3.5~4.0이었고, 전해용액 중 니켈이온의 농도는 300 g/L 이상에서 농도에 따라 전착두께가 증가되었다. 전류밀도에 따라 용액 중 니켈이온 감소 속도가 증가되었는데, 이는 음극표면에서 니켈 전착 량에 따른 전착두께의 증가를 나타낸다. 그러나 전착속도가 빠를 경우 니켈 전착 층의 치밀성은 저하되며, 표면의 상태는 불규칙하게 변화된다. 니켈이온의 전착과정이 불규칙하게 일어나 조직의 pin hole 등을 야기해 표면특성을 저하시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 광택니켈 전착 후 25 h 내식을 유지한 결과, 낮은 전류밀도를 유지하는 것이 내식특성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 프로그램모사 결과, 전류밀도가 높아질수록 확산 층의 두께는 증가하며, 음극표면의 농도는 낮아진다. 농도분포는 낮은 전류밀도에서 고른 분포를 나타내었으며 이는 일정한 전착두께를 예측할 수 있다. 생산성 저하를 예방하기 위해 공정시간은 크게 변화시키지 않았으며, 전류밀도와 전착두께를 변화시키면서 공정변수를 조절하였다. 본 연구의 표면분석 결과 조직특성이나 내식성 등의 표면 물성이 낮은 전류밀도를 사용할 경우에 더욱 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

There are many plating methods already commercially employed in te surface technology. One of the plating methods is electroless (chemical) plating, which is deposited by auto-catalytic reduction of metallic ion with the reducing agent in the plating bath. And it has many advantages comparing with electrolytic plating in respect of properties of deposit, such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, uniformity, hardness, adhesion and so on. So, electroless plating is the fatest growing process in metallization of plastic and electronic industry. The properties and numerous applications of electroless deposits are attracting more and more attention from finish specifies. Many metal finishers are considering set-up of new electroless line in their shops. This review will be beneficial to domestic metal finishers to understand the real status of present electroless plating technology. It will also provide some knowledge on the economic aspect of electroless plating for the commercial application of specific parts.

The laser-assisted seeding (LAS) process has potential to replace conventional electroless copper plating in Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing since it combines the steps of laser drilling and plating into one single process. In the LAS process, the single extra LAS step can metallize a microvia. Thus, the process steps can be greatly reduced and the productivity enhanced, but also the high aspect ratio microvias can be metallized. The objectives of this paper are to study the LAS copper thickness within PCB microvias and the thermal reliability of the microvias produced by this process. It was found that results were satisfactory in both the reliability test and also the LAS copper thickness which both comply with IPC standard, the copper thickness produced by the LAS process is sufficient for subsequent electro-plating process. The reliability of the microvias produced by LAS process is acceptable which are free from any voids, corner cracks, and distortion in the plated copper.

본 연구에서는 도금 공정 시뮬레이션에 필요한 전기화학적 분극 데이터와 도금 조건 시뮬레이션 및 도금층의 특성 평가에 대해 다루었다. Ni과 Cu의 동전위 분극 분석 및 정전류 분극 시험을 통해 얻은 전기화학적 분극 데이터는 도금액의 유동 조건에 따른 과전압 분포 변화를 관찰하는 데 사용되었다. 도금 조건 시뮬레이션에서는 랙 핀의 접점 위치와 개수가 도금 품질에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 다양한 변수 하에서 전류 밀도 분포 및 도금 두께 분포를 평가하였다. 양극 형상, 극간 거리, 보조 양극 배치, 피도금체 간격 변화 등의 변수에 따른 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 도금 두께 편차를 개선할 수 있는 방안을 모색하였다. 또한, 도금층의 특성 평가는 버퍼레이어 형성 유무에 따른 도금층의 두께, 밀착성 및 박리 여부를 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 도금 공정의 효율성과 품질 향상을 위한 중요한 기초 데이터로 활용될 수 있다.

In this study, supercritical nano plating was performed to observe its effect on materials. Using supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent, we observed how different pressures and temperatures of the supercritical fluid affected the process and its outcome. The plating current increases as pressure increases from 8 MPa to 16 MPa, but it decreases after that. Similarly, the plating current increases as temperature is increased from $35^{\circ}C$ to $45^{\circ}C$, but the current decreases after that. Also, the thickness of the wet electrolyte plating is about $35\sim50{\mu}m$, while the thickness of the plating done using supercritical fluid is about $20\sim25{\mu}m$. At the results, It to it is considered that supercritical nano plating enable to form more thin and stable plating than wet electroplating methods. Also both of the electroplating methods could be affected plating quality by surface condition, and the supercritical nano plating has been confirmed to product more uniform plating surface than wet electroplating.

Molten zinc plating is a process in which zinc is thinly coated over a metallic or non-metallic surface. It is used in various industrial fields for corrosion resistance and decoration. During the process, a steel sheet is passed through a roll that rotates inside the molten zinc liquid in the temperature range of $460^{\circ}C$ to $680^{\circ}C$, and the plating liquid flows into the roll causing abrasion and erosion of the roll surface. This problem is known to accelerate the replacement cycle of the roll and cause considerable economic loss owing to production line stoppage. Here, we propose a mechanism that operates at high temperature and pressure with a labyrinth type seal design to resolve this problem. We theoretically investigate the flow of the plating solution inside the seal and compute the minimum rotation speed required to prevent the plating solution from entering the seal chamber. In addition, we calculate the thermal deformation of the seal during operation and display thermally deformed dimensions at high temperatures. To verify the theoretical results, we perform experiments using pilot test equipment working in the actual plating environment. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical results. We expect our results to contribute towards the extension of the roll's life span and thereby reduce the economic losses.

Electroplating technology is widely used in semiconductor microelectronic industry. With the development of semiconductor integrated circuit to high density and light-small scale, Extremely high quality and plated uniformity of the deposited metals are needed.
