    摘要: An autocatalytic gold bath capable of depositing gold from solution onto a substrate, wherein the substrate has one or more metal layers thereon. The autocatalytic gold bath includes (a) a chelator; (b) a gold salt; and (c) a reducing agent, wherein the reducing agent comprises an organic molecule having more than one carbon atom on the organic molecule. A process of plating gold onto the surface of the one or more metal layers on the substrate is also included. The gold plating bath can be used to deposit a final finish to the surface of the one or more metal layers which can be formed in an ENIG, ENEPIG, EPAG, direct gold over copper or gold over silver process.

    摘要: A method of preparing a non-conductive substrate to allow metal plating thereon. The method includes the steps of a) contacting the non-conductive substrate with a conditioner comprising a conditioning agent; b) applying a carbon-based dispersion to the conditioned substrate, wherein the carbon-based dispersion comprises carbon or graphite particles dispersed in a liquid solution; and c) etching the non-conductive substrate. The etching step is performed before the liquid carbon-based dispersion dries on the non-conductive substrate.
