Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cyanide-free tin alloy plating solution having outstanding serial stability as well as a method of precipitating tin alloy plating onto an electroconductive object using the tin alloy plating solution is disclosed. The tin alloy plating solution contains tin ions and one or more additional metal ions of silver, copper, bismuth, indium, palladium, lead, zinc, or nickel, and peptides with cysteine residues.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A tin alloy plating solution consisting of tin ions, silver ions, metal ions selected from the group consisting of copper ions and bismuth ions, an organic acid or an inorganic acid, optionally one or more additives selected from the group consisting of complexing agents, grain refiners, antioxidants, gloss agents, pH regulators, organic solvents and surfactants, water and peptides with cysteine residues, wherein a range of peptides with cysteine residues are 0.3 to 1.8 times the moles of silver ions. 2. The tin alloy plating solution of claim 1 wherein the peptides with cysteine residues have 2 to 20 amino acid residues. 3. The tin alloy plating solution of claim 1 wherein the peptide with cysteine residues is glutathione. 4. The tin alloy plating solution of claim 1 wherein the plating solution has a pH of not more than 4. 5. A method of depositing tin alloy plating onto an electroconductive object comprising: step (A) contacting an electroconductive object with the tin alloy plating solution of claim 1 ; and step (B) passing a current between electrodes and the electroconductive object to plate the electroconductive object with the tin alloy.
