Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A copper plating solution includes: water-soluble copper salt; ethylenediamine; at least one of EDTA, a substituted derivative of EDTA, an ethylenediamine derivative, or glycine; and at least one of hydantoin or a substituted derivative thereof. The copper plating solution allows an aluminum or aluminum alloy base to be displacement-plated with copper.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A copper plating solution comprising: water-soluble copper salt; ethylenediamine; at least one of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), a substituted derivative of EDTA, an ethylenediamine derivative, or glycine; at least one of hydantoin or a substituted derivative thereof, and at least one of hypophosphite or organic salt, and wherein: the copper plating solution allows an aluminum or aluminum alloy base to be displacement-plated with copper, and wherein the at least one of EDTA, a substituted derivative of EDTA, an ethylenediamine derivative, or glycine has a molar ratio of 0.4 or more and 0.7 or less with respect to the ethylenediamine. 2 . The copper plating solution of claim 1 , wherein the copper plating solution is free from nickel salt. 3 . A copper plating method comprising: a pretreatment process of pretreating a surface of an aluminum or aluminum alloy base; and a copper plating process of displacement-plating the aluminum or aluminum alloy base with copper using the copper plating solution of claim 1 after the pretreatment process, wherein the copper plating process is performed on the aluminum or aluminum alloy base which is untreated with zincate. 4 . The copper plating method of claim 3 , wherein the pretreatment process includes degreasing, alkali etching, and acid washing.
