TLDR
In this paper, the method of depositing a metal on a surface especially suitable for the manufacture of printed circuit boards includes coating the surface with a sensitizing solution comprising an inaqueous solvent solution, a reducible salt of a non-noble metal, a salt of 2,7 anthraquinone disulfonic acid and a polyol type secondary reducing agent such as sorbitol.
Abstract
The method of depositing a metal on a surface especially suitable for the manufacture of printed circuit boards includes coating the surface with a sensitizing solution comprising an inaqueous solvent solution, a reducible salt of a non-noble metal, a salt of 2,7 anthraquinone disulfonic acid and a polyol type secondary reducing agent such as sorbitol. The coated surface is then dried and the dried surface may be stored for extended periods of time before further processing which consists of imaging the sensitized surface with ultraviolet light and electrolessly plating a metal over the imaged surface.

Selective electroless plating process for metal conductors

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for electrolessly plating an overcoat metal on a metal conductor disposed on a dielectric surface of a substrate was proposed, which includes removing carbonized film from the dielectrics surface by applying a plasma discharge, acid treating the metal conductor by dipping the substrate in a first acid solution in order to clean the surface of the metal, activating the metal conductors to allow electroless plating thereon by dipping substrate in metal activator solution, deactivating the surface to prevent electro-plating there on the surface, and plating

Method for the production of radiant energy imaged printed circuit boards

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to produce metallic nuclei in the form of a non-conducting real image of the desired circuit pattern, rinsing the exposed base to remove unexposed metal salts and exposing the real image to an electroless metal bath to build up conductor lines of electroless metals thereon.

Process for the formation of real images and products produced thereby

TL;DR: In this article, a real image of metal is formed on substrates by depositing reducible metal salt compositions thereon and exposing the coated substrates to radiant energy or a chemical reducing agent to reduce the metal salt to metallic nuclei.
