Copper plating time estimates help review current density, plating area, target copper thickness and amp-hour loading. Production plating also depends on bath condition and throwing power.
Copper deposition estimate
公式: Time (min) = target copper (um) / (0.329 x current density x efficiency)
Target copper: copper thickness to be deposited.
Current density: amperes per square decimeter.
Efficiency: plating current efficiency.
公式依據
Formula basis: Faraday's law of electrolysis adapted for copper deposition thickness.
Engineering note: bath efficiency, throwing power and hole-wall copper thickness must be validated by production measurement.
範例
At 2 A/dm2 and 90% efficiency, depositing 20 um copper takes about 33.8 minutes.

工程注意事項
Through-hole copper thickness may lag surface copper depending on throwing power.
Very high current density can create roughness, burning or poor distribution.
For production control, use real bath efficiency and measured copper thickness data.
