Abstract

The invention relates to a method for electroplating metals of tin and bismuth, which is characterized by comprising 40-80g / l of tin methane-sulfonate and 1-3g / l of bismuth methane-sulfonate in terms of volume mass ratio, and also comprising 100-280ml / l of methylsulfonic acid, 30-100ml / l of additive SNB31 produced by Dr. Ing Max Schlotter GmbH & Co. KG, 5-15ml / l of additive SNB14 produced by Dr. Ing Max Schlotter GmbH & Co. KG, and the balanced water in terms of volume ratio; and the electroplate liquid is used for electroplating for 1.5-2.5min with a current density of 10-20 ampere / square decimeter and at a temperature of 35-65 DEG C. The cathode plate of the plating tank containing the electroplate liquid is a conveying steel belt, and the distances between an electroplating part and two anode plates are the same. The tin and bismuth metal layers electroplated by the invention have uniform thickness and even distribution of bismuth, and tin and bismuth metal layers have good weldability.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The technology relates to a method for electroplating a compound metal layer, in particular to a method for electroplating a compound metal layer for an integrated circuit outer lead pin. Background technique: [0002] Tin-bismuth electroplating technology is widely used in the electroplating of PCB boards (printed circuit boards) and the outer leads of integrated circuits. Compared with tin-lead electroplating, tin-bismuth electroplating has the characteristics of non-toxicity, low corrosion, bright coating, good solderability, and simple wastewater treatment. It is a green and environmentally friendly electroplating system that countries around the world are currently committed to promoting and using. The bismuth component in the tin-bismuth electroplating layer is 1-3%, and the uniformity of the coating thickness is an important index affecting product quality, including the uniformity of the coating thickness and the uniformity of the bismuth comp...
