Description

めっき方法およびめっき製品Plating method and plated product
 本発明は、めっき方法およびめっき製品に関する。 The present invention relates to plating methods and plated products.
 無電解めっきは電解を行わず、樹脂等にめっきをする技術である。近年では、半導体材料、自動車部品、水栓金具等の多種用途へその利用が拡大している。  Electroless plating is a technique for plating resin, etc., without electrolysis. In recent years, its use has expanded to various applications such as semiconductor materials, automobile parts, and faucet fittings.
 しかしながら、無電解めっきは、例えば、特許文献1および2に記載の通り、貴金属であるパラジウムや銀を含むコロイド触媒を樹脂の表面に付与してから行う必要があるが、このコロイド触媒は凝集すること等があるため上手にめっきができないこともある。また、少量ではあるものの貴金属の使用量を減らすことは、コストの面でメリットがある。 However, electroless plating, for example, as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is necessary to apply a colloidal catalyst containing palladium and silver, which are noble metals, to the surface of the resin, but this colloidal catalyst aggregates. There are times when it is not possible to perform plating well due to certain factors. In addition, reducing the amount of precious metal used, albeit in a small amount, is advantageous in terms of cost.
 一方、特許文献3、4および非特許文献1は、無電解銅めっきを行うに当たり、貴金属を含む触媒を用いずに銅イオンを含む触媒を用いるプロセスであるが、これに用いられる溶液の組成は複雑であり、しかも、めっき対象がプリント基板であったりフィルムであり、前処理工程としてUVによる改質が必要であり工程が煩雑である。更に、この技術が無電解銅めっき以外のどの無電解めっきに応用できるか等一切わからないものでもある。 On the other hand, Patent Documents 3 and 4 and Non-Patent Document 1 are processes that use a catalyst containing copper ions without using a catalyst containing a noble metal in performing electroless copper plating, but the composition of the solution used for this is It is complicated, and moreover, the object to be plated is a printed circuit board or a film, and as a pretreatment process, modification by UV is required, and the process is complicated. Furthermore, it is not known at all whether this technology can be applied to electroless plating other than electroless copper plating.
