Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Electroless copper plating baths include alternative reducing agents to the conventional reducing agents currently used in the electroless plating industry. The electroless copper baths are stable and deposit a salmon bright copper deposit on substrates. Exclusion of many environmentally unfriendly conventional reducing agents enables environmentally friendly electroless copper plating baths.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electroless copper plating composition comprising one or more sources of copper ions, one or more chelating agents chosen from Rochelle salts or dipotassium tartrate, and one or more reducing agents selected from the group consisting of 2,2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde, 2,2-diethoxyacetaldehyde, 2,2dipropoxyacetaldehyde and 2,2-dibutoxyacetaldehyde in amounts of 1 g/L to 50 g/L[, wherein the composition is free of amines]. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the compound is chosen from 2,2-dimethoxyacetaldehyde. 3. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising surfactants, stabilizers, surface modifiers, alkaline compounds, antioxidants or mixtures thereof. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more compounds are in amounts of 5 g/L to 30 g/L.
