Through-hole (TH) filling of a printed circuit board (PCB) was conducted with a copper electroplating solution. Tetranitroblue tetrazolium chloride (TNBT) was used as an inhibitor and acetic acid electrolyte instead of a traditional H2SO4 electrolyte was used for the copper electroplating. Moreover, functional insoluble anodes (DT) that were activated with iridium-based mixed metal oxides on Ti meshes were used instead of conventional soluble anodes (i.e., P-doped Cu). The TH filling performance of the copper electroplating solution was significantly enhanced when acetic acid electrolyte and DT anodes were used simultaneously in the copper electroplating bath.
