摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for depositing tin or tin alloy layers on substrates containing antimony compounds as flameproofing agents or for improving the stampability, wherein the antimony compound is removed from the surface of the substrate material by an acid solution prior to metallization. Particularly preferred, pretreatment solutions containing hydrochloric acids are used for this purpose. The method is particularly suitable for producing joinable tin final layers on printed circuit boards containing antimony compounds, the tin final layers being applied onto copper portions of the conductor pattern which are not covered by the solder stop mask.
