Abstract:

In order to improve the deposition uniformity of laminated template electrodeposition(LTE) and to further simplify the auxiliary operation,three kinds of current configurations including direct current(DC),anodic pulse current(PC) and pulse-reverse current(PRC) were respectively applied to LTE test,and such parameters of pulse-reverse current as pulse width,pulse frequency,working time,turn-off time and current density were modulated and optimized.Then,the thicknesses and micro-morphologies of the metal layers deposited with different current configurations were compared, finding that PRC offers better deposition uniformity, easier LTE operation and lower time cost. Finally, the function of PRC in diminishing surface roughness was theoretically analyzed, and a batch of copper parts, which are 20 mm × 20 mm in section size and 4mm in thickness, were deposited in optimized PRC conditions. The results verify the feasibility of the LTE with PRC.
