In addition to its application in the metallization of the inner holes of printed circuit boards, electroless copper plating solution is also suitable for the metallization of semiconductors. In this article, we will discuss this aspect.
The earliest application of electroless copper plating solution in the metallization of non-conductors was in plastics and ceramics, etc. It is mainly used for the initial conductive film in the subsequent electroplating of non-conductors, with a thickness usually only requiring 1μm to 2μm. Therefore, this application is also called electroless thin copper plating.
Electroless thin copper plating as the initial conductive film for decorative plastic electroplating is more advantageous than electroless nickel plating, as it can extend the time that the coating is exposed to outdoor corrosion. Over the past few decades, the application of electroless thin copper plating has been continuously increasing. It is estimated that the annual surface area of electroless thin copper plating now exceeds several million square meters.
Especially with the rapid development of the plastic industry, Bigely electroless copper plating solution has found a wide range of applications. Half of the plastic trims on American cars are electroless copper plated, and the amount used is considerable. In addition, many plastic decorative parts, arts and crafts, quartz clock casings, inner caps of gas cylinders, casings of radio bodies, knobs, and decorative items mostly use electroless copper plating as the conductive layer for subsequent electroplating, and their usage is considerable both at home and abroad.
