Abstract

A high-speed electroplating method is provided. The high-speed electroplating method includes the following steps: providing a substrate containing a conductive layer on its surface; coating a dry-film photoresist on the conductive layer of the substrate, and patterning the dry-film photoresist; performing a pretreatment process to clean the substrate; disposing the substrate in an electroplating solution; turning on an ultrasonic oscillation machine to vibrate the electroplating solution, and turning on a jet flow device to agitate the electroplating solution, and performing a pre-electroplating process with a plating current density of 0.5 A/dm2 to 5 A/dm2, and then performing a high-speed electroplating process with a plating current density of 6 A/dm2 to 100 A/dm2; depositing a conductive pillar on areas without the dry-film photoresist; and removing the dry-film photoresist being coated on the conductive layer of the substrate. Thus, the high-speed electroplating method can achieve high-speed electrodeposition with uniform microstructures.
