A method for enhancing the solderability of a metallic surface is disclosed where the metallic surface is plated with an immersion silver plate prior to soldering, which immersion silver plate is treated with an additive selected from the group consisting of fatty amines, fatty amides, quaternary salts, amphateric salts, resinous amines, resinous amides, fatty acids, resinous acids, ethoxylated derivatives of any of the foregoing, and mixtures of any of the foregoing. The immersion silver deposits created are resistant electromigration.

Method for enhancing the solderability of a surface

A method for enhancing the solderability of a metallic surface is disclosed where the metallic surface is plated with an immersion silver plate prior to soldering, which immersion silver plate is treated with an additive selected from the group consisting of fatty amines, fatty amides, quaternary salts, amphateric salts, resinous amines, resinous amides, fatty acids, resinous acids, ethoxylated derivatives of any of the foregoing, and mixtures of any of the foregoing. The immersion silver deposits created are resistant to electromigration.

The present invention sets forth an improved method of microetching a metal substrate by contacting the substrate with an aqueous composition comprising a sodium persulfate or hydrogen peroxide oxidizing agent, acid, and one or more additives. When the oxidizing agent is sodium persulfate, the one or more additives generally comprise an aliphatic saturated dicarboxylic acid. When the oxidizing agent is hydrogen peroxide, the one or more additives generally comprise a stabilizer and amino tris(methylene phosphonic acid).

Methods of cleaning copper surfaces in the manufacture of printed circuit boards

A method for enhancing the solderability of a metallic surface is disclosed where the metallic surface is plated with an immersion or electroless silver plate prior to soldering, after which immersion silver plate is treated with an alkaline polymer coating comprising aqueous vinyl polymers, aqueous acrylic polymers, anti-fungal agents and a benzotriazole or benzimidazole compound to produce a deposit that is resistant to electromigration and that provides an anti-tarnish and anti-corrosion coating on the surface.

Coating for silver plated circuits

A method for enhancing the solderability of a metallic surface is disclosed where the metallic surface is plated with an immersion silver plate prior to soldering, which immersion silver plate is treated with an additive selected from the group consisting of fatty amines, fatty amides, quaternary salts, ampihateric salts, resinous amines, resinous amides, fatty acids, resinous acids, ethoxylated derivatives of any of the foregoing, and mixtures of any of the foregoing. The immersion silver deposits created are resistant to electromigration.

A process for improving the adhesion of a copper surface to a resinous layer, the process comprising contacting the copper layer with an adhesion promoting composition comprising a reducing agent and a metal selected from the group consisting of gold, silver, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, iron and alloys of the foregoing metals.
