Electroless gold plating solution

摘要

An electroless gold plating solution comprising a thiosulfato gold(I) complex, a thiosulfate, thiourea, a pH regulator and a stabilizer. The electroless gold plating solution shows a plating rate and a plating solution stability comparable to those of conventional gold plating solutions containing cyanide ions, and requires a smaller amount of reducing agent to be used therein. Further, the electroless gold plating solution is safe because it does not contain cyanide ions.
