Abstract

Using sodium pyrophoshate as complexing agent, the characteristics and the magnetic properties of the films deposited from electroless cobalt plating bath have been studied. The result obtained are as following; 1. It was found that the optimum bath compositions consisted of 0.1M cobalt sulfate, 0.2M sodium hypophosphite as reducing agent, 0.4M sodium pyrophosphate as complexing agent and 0.5M ammonium sulfate as buffer agent, whereas good operating conditions were the bath of pH 10.5 adjusted with ammonia and 70$^{\circ}C$ of bath temperature, respectively. 2. The coercive force and the squareness of magnetic films were increased with deposition from the low temperature bath. 3. The phosphorous content in Co-P films deposited from these bath was relatively higher than that from Brenner bath. It was assumed to be due to codeposition of phosphorous from the pyrophosphate anion in the solution.
