摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of printed circuit boards. The method contemplates the use of electroless nickel as the primary medium for interconnection, for building circuitry to the desired thickness and as an etch resist. The method is particularly versatile in reducing the number of steps and variety of chemicals currently necessary to produce these circuit boards.
摘要:
Disclosed is a composition and process useful in activating nickel-phosphorous surfaces for subsequent plating thereon. A combination of sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate is utilized to render otherwise non-catalytic nickel-phosphorous surfaces catalytic to subsequent plating.
摘要:
A low viscosity silicone glycol surfactant together with glycerin is added to a polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion for use with an electroless nickel plating bath. The improved plating bath produces a stable PTFE dispersion that continues to work as the plating bath ages and that produces an electroless nickel deposit with greater than 20 percent by volume of PTFE in the deposit.
摘要:
A conversion coating composition and a method of applying the conversion coating composition to magnesium and magnesium alloy articles prior to painting to prevent corrosion. The conversion coating composition comprises a source of vanadate ions, a material comprising phosphorus, and nitric acid or a source of nitrate ions. In addition, the composition may also contain boric acid or a source of borate ions and a source of fluoride ions or a source of fluoroborate ions.
摘要:
A process is revealed whereby resistors can be manufactured integral with the printed circuit board by plating the resistors onto the insulative substrate. Uniformization of the insulative substrate through etching and oxidation of the plated resistor are revealed as techniques for improving the uniformity and consistency of the plated resistors.
摘要:
The invention comprises a process of preparing a non-conductive substrate for subsequent metalization. The process replaces the traditional chromic acid etching step with an etching solution comprising a permanganate and a mineral acid. The process also includes a novel activation solution comprising a palladium salt and an amine complexor. The new process of the invention is more environmentally friendly than the traditional chromic acid etching solutions but achieves a comparable result on most non-conductive substrates.
摘要:
An improved electroless copper plating bath solution comprising a stabilizer selected from the group consisting of formate salts and formic acid. The addition of the formate salt or formic acid to the plating solution provides increased bath stability at the elevated operating conditions of the plating bath, preventing copper from spontaneously decomposing from the plating solution.
摘要:
The present invention relates to environmentally safe flux removing compositions specifically formulated for cleaning electronic circuit assemblies, such as printed circuit boards, during the fabrication thereof. Aryl alcohols, such as benzyl alcohol, are used to remove solder flux, oils and other contaminates from various substrates.
