Problems solved by technology

[0003] The surface treatment in the circuit board field mainly refers to the final treatment of the copper surface. The treated surface can perform functions such as welding and binding. In this field, developed countries have been at the forefront. In recent years, OSP, chemical nickel and gold It has developed to a certain extent in China, but OSP finished product inspection is not convenient for visual inspection and electrical measurement, SMT rework is not suitable, and storage conditions are required.
Electroless nickel gold has the disadvantages of nickel corrosion, easy permeation plating, missing plating, etc.
[0004] Chemically pure tin coating has long been used in the field of surface treatment of automotive circuit boards or IC substrates, thanks to its many advantages, such as good flatness of the tin surface, excellent electrical conductivity and solderability, and can be used many times Soldering, the tin layer does not contain lead, no pollution to the environment, long storage period (one year), simple manufacturing process, good working environment, etc., but the existing coating morphology has loose coating, no obvious crystallization, and relatively high porosity High disadvantage
