ELECTROLESS METAL DEPOSITION

摘要

An improved method for enhancing the ductility of electroless metal deposits is provided in which an electroless metal bath contains an extraneous ion which has a preferential capacity for being coulombically adsorbed at the outer layer of an electric double layer present on an interface in contact with such bath on which said metal is electrolessly depositing, such ion being present in an amount sufficient to reduce the inclusion of hydrogen in the electrolessly deposited metal.
