Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve a plating solution in utilization efficiency by a method wherein a self-catalizing type electroless gold plating solution composed of an alkaline electroless plating solution, which contains a gold salt and a boron series reducing agent and is appended with a alkali-soluble chelate agent, is used as an electroless gold plating solution. CONSTITUTION:A copper wiring is formed, which is plated with nickel or cobalt through an electroless plating method, and then a printed substrate, which is plated with gold through a substitution plating method, is made to be plated with gold using an alkaline self-catalyzing type electroless gold plating solution which is annexed with an alkali-soluble chelate agent and contains a gold salt and a boron series reducing agent. By these processes, the life of a self- catalyzing type electroless gold plating solution, which is specified by impurity ions eluted from an intermediate layer, can be made to be ten times longer than usual and the deposition of gold is made to increase in quantity.

When gold plating is performed using the electrolytic method5, first a large number of copper wiring lines and a common electrode connecting them are formed on the printed circuit board, then nickel or cobalt is applied as an intermediate layer, and then gold is applied as an upper layer on top of that. Both are electrolytically plated via a common electrode. After plating, the common electrode portion is removed by cutting. When gold plating is performed using the electrolytic method, the process is complicated because the common electrode is formed and separated5, and the gold plated on the common electrode part that is separated is wasted, and furthermore, copper wiring is lost in the separated part. It was exposed in the cross section and had a problem with corrosion resistance.

In order to solve these problems, an electroless gold plating method was proposed. Gold plating using the electroless method generally requires a two-step plating process of displacement gold plating and autocatalytic electroless gold plating, but since there is no need to form a common electrode, the process is shorter than the electrolytic method. is easy.
