Abstract
Hydrazine and dimethylamine borane are used as reducing agents in a new autocatalytic electroless gold plating formulation. Measurements of the kinetics of the anodic reaction have shown unique substrate/reducing agent interactions. Combining the unique characteristics of each reducing agent with improved kinetics facilitated by the addition of carbonate and triethanolamine has resulted in a plating bath with exceptional rate and stability. This formulation can be used on a variety of substrates which are normally difficult for electroless gold plating.
