UGPCB Chemistry Lab: The Core Technology Engine in PCB Manufacturing

مقدمة

In the electronics manufacturing industry, لوحات الدوائر المطبوعة (مركبات ثنائي الفينيل متعدد الكلور) serve as the fundamental carriers of electronic products, whose quality directly affects the performance and reliability of end products. As a leading provider of PCB, ثنائي الفينيل متعدد الكلور, و بيكفد services, UGPCB operates a chemistry lab that undertakes core functions such as material analysis, process optimization, and quality control. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the lab’s operational system and highlights its critical role in PCB manufacturing.

Lab Layout and Equipment System

Central Experimental Zone

ال UGPCB lab adopts a modular design with the following core areas:

Central Experimental Zone

• Equipped with corrosion-resistant workbenches surfaced with EPOXY resin to withstand strong acids and alkalis. Glassware such as beakers and measuring cylinders are neatly arranged, and reagent bottles are stored in blue trays by category, implementing 5S management.

Ventilation System

• Red exhaust ducts connected to multiple fume hoods ensure an airflow speed of 0.5 m/s, keeping organic solvent vapor (على سبيل المثال, acetone, isopropyl alcohol) concentrations below occupational exposure limits.

Precision Inspection Zone

• Configured with a spectrophotometer (for copper ion concentration detection), atomic absorption spectrometer (for heavy metal residue analysis), and XRF coating thickness gauge (accuracy ±0.1 μm). Equipment spacing complies with ISO 14644-1 cleanroom standards.

Core PCB Process Analysis

PCB Electroless Copper Plating Process

This process follows a three-stage reaction mechanism:

Pretreatment (Alkaline Potassium Permanganate System)
MnO₄⁻ + H₂O → MnO₂ + 2OH⁻ + O₂↑
Ultrasonic cleaning removes resin residue from ثنائي الفينيل متعدد الكلور hole walls, with roughness controlled to Ra 0.15–0.3 μm.

Activation (Colloidal Palladium System)
Pd²⁺ + Sn²⁺ → Pd-Sn colloidal particles
Ultrasonic assistance ensures uniform catalyst adsorption on microvia (≥0.15 mm) inner walls.

Copper Deposition (Formaldehyde Reduction System)
Cu²⁺ + HCHO + OH⁻ → Cu↓ + HCOO⁻ + H₂O
Key parameters: pH 9.0–9.5, temperature 30±0.5°C, deposition rate 2 μm/15 min, copper thickness ≥1.5 μm (per IPC-6012 standard).

PCB Electroplating Process Optimization

Using a Hull Cell to simulate production conditions, the following reaction ensures plating uniformity:
Anode: Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻
Cathode: Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu↓
Key parameters: current density 1.5 A/dm², bath temperature 25±1°C, additive concentration maintained at PCA 5–8 ml/L, ensuring copper thickness deviation on hole walls ≤5%.

Safety and Quality Control System

Lab Safety Protocols

• Protective Measures: Operators wear nitrile gloves, goggles, and anti-static aprons; face shields are added when handling strong acids.

• Waste Liquid Treatment: Copper-containing waste is recycled via ion-exchange resin with >60% recovery rate; organic waste is treated with activated carbon adsorption before entering an RTO incineration system.

• Emergency Management: Equipped with emergency eyewash stations and showers; response time from the nearest fire station is ≤3 minutes.

Real-Time Monitoring System

• Online Analysis: Conductivity meters monitor impurities in plating baths; automatic pure water replenishment is triggered when Cl⁻ concentration exceeds 50 ppm.

• Traceability Management: Each batch record includes reagent lot number, equipment calibration date, and operator signature, complying with ISO 17025 lab accreditation requirements.
