The increased demand for electronic devices in recent years has led to an extensive research in the field to meet the requirements of the industry. Electrolytic copper has been an important technology in the fabrication of PCBs and semiconductors. Aqueous sulfuric acid baths are explored for filling or building up with copper structures like blind micro vias (BMV), trenches, through holes (TH), and pillar bumps. As circuit miniaturization continues, developing a process that simultaneously fills vias and plates TH with various sizes and aspect ratios, while minimizing the surface copper thickness is critical. Filling BMV and plating TH at the same time, presents great difficulties for the PCB manufactures. The conventional copper plating processes that provide good via fill and leveling of the deposit tend to worsen the throwing power (TP) of the electroplating bath. TP is defined as the ratio of the deposit copper thickness in the center of the through hole to its thickness at the surface. In this paper an optimization of recently developed innovative, one step acid copper plating technology for filling vias with a minimal surface thickness and plating through holes is presented.

Copper pour is an essential design element in printed circuit boards (PCBs) that enhances thermal management, signal integrity, and electrical grounding. It involves filling unused areas on the board with copper, connecting them to power or ground planes. This feature helps manage heat dissipation, minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), and provides stable electrical grounding for complex circuits. While copper pour offers significant benefits, improper implementation may lead to manufacturing challenges like warping or soldering difficulties. This article explores the advantages of copper pour, the potential challenges, and how PCB Power integrates this design feature to optimize performance and durability. With advanced manufacturing processes, PCB Power ensures seamless copper pour integration for prototypes and large-scale production, offering turnkey PCB solutions for various industries.
