    Abstract: A method of producing a flexible nickel phosphorus plating layer on a substrate. The substrate comprises a dielectric material with a copper layer thereon. The method includes the steps of (1) activating the substrate with a palladium activation solution to catalyze the substrate, and (2) contacting the activated substrate with an electroless nickel phosphorus plating solution comprising (i) a source of nickel ions; (ii) a source of hypophosphite ions; (iii) at least one complexing agent; and (iv) an organic flex additive. The nickel phosphorus plating layer deposited on the substrate exhibits a columnar grain structure.
