For the fabrication of the circuits, contact or terminal areas are usually coated with nickel and gold. Usually, diluted palladium solution is applied to initiate electroless nickel plating on the copper circuits. However, the trace amounts of palladium remains on the resin and it causes the extraneous deposition. We confirmed that selectivity was greatly improved by the treatment with the strong reducing agents such as SBH or DMAB. Bondability was greatly influenced by the contents of phosphorus in the deposited nickel. Stabilizers in the electroless gold plating were also influenced the bonding strength. The baths containing cupferron or potassium nickel cyanide as a stabilizer showed superior bondability. The gold deposits having strong orientation with Au(220) and Au(311) showed good bond ability.

Ni-diamond composite powders with nickel layer of round-top type on the surface of synthetic diamond (140/170 mesh) were prepared by the electroless plating method (EN) with semi-batch reactor. The effects of nickel concentration, feeding rates of reductant, temperature, reaction time and stirring speeds on the weight percentage and morphology of deposited Ni, mean particle size and specific surface area of the composite powders were investigated by Atomic Adsortion Spectrometer, SEM-EDX, PSA and BET. It was found that nucleated Ni-P islands, acted as catalytic sites for further deposition and grown into these relatively thick layers with nodule-type on the surface of diamond by a lateral growth mechanism. The weight percentage of Ni in the composite powder increased with reaction time, feeding rate of reductant and temperature, but decreased with stirring speed. The weight percentage of Ni in Ni-diamond composite powder was 55% at 150 min., 200 rpm and 7$0^{\circ}C$ .

Developing a metallization that has low cost and high efficiency is essential in solar-cell industries, to replace expensive silver-based metallization. Ni/Cu two-step metallization is one way to reduce the cost of solar cells, because the price of copper is about 100 times less than that of silver. Alkaline electroless plating was used for depositing nickel seed layers on the front electrode area. Prior to the nickel deposition process, 2% HF solution was used to remove native oxide, which disturbs uniform nickel plating. In the subsequent step, a nickel sintering process was carried out in $N_2$ gas atmosphere; however, copper was plated by light-induced plating (LIP). Plated nickel has different properties under different bath conditions because nickel electroless plating is a completely chemical process. In this paper, plating bath conditions such as pH and temperature were varied, and the metal layer's structure was analyzed to investigate the adhesion of Ni/Cu metallization. Average adhesion values in the range of 0.2-0.49 N/mm were achieved for samples with no nickel sintering process.

Metalization technology of the fine patterns by electroless plating is required in place of electrodeposition as high-density printed circuit boards (PCB) become indispensable with the miniaturization of electronic components. Electroless nickel plating is a suitable diffusion barrier between conductor metals, such as Al and Cu, and solder is essetional in electronic packaging in order to sustain a long period of service. Moreover, Electroless nickel has particular characteristics including non-magnetic property, amorphous structure, wear resistance, corrosion protection and thermal stability. In this study fundamental aspects of electroless nickel deposition were studied with effect of complexeing agents of different kinds. Then, the property of electroless deposit are controlled by the composition of the deposition solution, the deposition condition such as temperature and pH value and so on. the characteristics of the deposits has been carried out.

The typical MCFC (molten carbonate fuel cell) anode is made of Ni-10%Cr alloy. The work of this paper is focused concerning long life of anode because Ni-10% Cr anode is suffering from sintering and creep behavior during cell operation. Therefore, Ni-coated Alumina powder($20{\mu}m$) was developed by electroless nickel plating. Optimum condition of electroless nickel coation on $20{\mu}m$ alumina is as follows: pH 11.7, temperature $65{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, powder amount $100cm^2/l$. The deposition rate for Ni-electroless plating was as a function of temperature and activation energy was evaluated by Arrhenius Equation thereby activation energy calculated slope of experimental data as 117.6 kJ/mol, frequency factor(A) was $6.28{\times}10^{18}hr^{-1}$, respectively.

본 연구에서는 무전해 니켈 도금액 pH 변화에 따른 electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG)/Sn-3.0wt.%Ag-0.5wt.%Cu(SAC305) 솔더 접합부 취성 파괴 거동에 대하여 평가하였다. ENIG 표면처리를 위한 무전해 니켈 도금액의 pH는 4.0에서 5.5로 변화 시켰다. 무전해 니켈 도금 후 Ni-P 표면 관찰 결과, 도금액의 pH가 낮아질수록 Ni-P 층 nodule 표면에 핀홀이 증가하였다. 솔더링 후 접합부 계면에서는 (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 금속간화합물이 형성되었으며, 무전해 니켈 도금액의 pH가 증가할수록 솔더접합부의 계면 금속간화합물의 두께는 증가하였다. 고속전단 시험을 통하여 ENIG/SAC305 솔더 접합부의 취성파괴 거동을 확인하였으며, 무전해 니켈 도금액의 pH가 증가할수록 솔더접합부의 전단강도는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 솔더 접합부의 취성 파괴율은 pH가 5일 때 가장 높은 값을 보였다.

The characteristion of composite electroless Nikel palting on the condition of adding 3kinds ceramic dispersives, Al2O3, Si3O4 and artificial diamond powder were studied. Decreasing solution temperature for composite plating was required to depress the spontaneous decomposition caused by dispersive including enlargement of reaction surface. The rate of composite plating was faster than that of general electroless-Nickel plating without dispersive. this increasing tendency of plating rate was remarkable for the active catalysis, like diamond powder.

이방성 전도필름(ACF) 접합에 사용되는 니켈 범프를 무전해 및 전해 도금법으로 제작한 다음, 이 범프들의 기계적 특성과 충격안전성을 압축시험, 범프전단시험, 낙하충격시험을 통하여 연구하였다. Nano indenter를 이용한 압축시험에서 얻은 하중-변형량 데이터를 변환시켜 니켈범프의 응력-변형량 곡선을 구하였다. 전해 니켈 범프는 무전해 니켈 범프에 비해 매우 작은 탄성한계응력과 탄성계수를 나타냈었다. 무전해 니켈 범프의 탄성한계응력과 탄성계수가 각각 600-800MPa, $9.7{\times}10^{-3}MPa/nm$인 반면 전해 니켈 범프의 경우에는 각각 70MPa, $7.8{\times}10^4MPa/nm$이었다. 범프전단 시험에서 무전해 니켈 범프는 소성변형이 거의 일어나지 않고 낮은 전단하중에서 범프가 패드 층에서 튕기듯이 떨어져 나간 반면 전해 니켈 범프는 큰 소성변형을 일으키며 범프가 잘려나갔으며 높은 전단하중을 보여주었다. 낙하충격시험 결과 ACF 플립칩 방법으로 본딩한 무전해 및 전해 범프 모두 높은 충격 신뢰성을 보였다.

무전해 니켈 도금법을 사용하여 단분산 폴리스티렌 입자 표면에 니켈이 도금된 고분자 코어/금속 쉘의 복합 입자를 제조하였다. 단분산 입자는 분산중합으로 제조하였는데 사용한 분산매질의 종류에 따라 다양한 크기의 단분산 폴리스티렌 입자를 제조할 수 있었다. 그 중 직경 $3.4\;{\mu}m$ 크기의 단분산 폴리스티렌 입자를 선택하여 무전해 니켈 도금을 시도하였다. 니켈 도금에 영향을 미치는 도금 조건을 파악하기 위하여 활성화제인 $PdCl_2$의 농도, 착화제인 glycine의 농도와 니켈 도금액의 투여 시간에 따른 니켈 도금된 폴리스티렌 복합 입자의 모폴로지를 관찰하였다. 본 연구조건하에서는 $PdCl_2$의 농도 0.4 g/L, glycine 농도 1 M 이상인 경우 폴리스티렌 입자 위에 균일한 두께의 니켈층을 형성하였고 석출되는 니켈도 적었다. 도금 시간 2 시간 중에서 동일양의 도금액을 투여 속도를 달리하며 도금한 경우 모폴로지 상의 뚜렷한 차이는 없었으나 0.15 mL/min 속도로 1시간 동안 투여한 경우가 상대적으로 균일한 도금 특성을 보여 주었다.

Optimal conditions of electroless nickel plating in acid baths has been studied for industrial applications of a developed EN solution. The phosphorus content in the deposition ranges from 8 to $12\;wt.\%$. The investigated EN plating parameters are ion concentrations of nickel and hypophosphite, concentration of reducing and complexing agent, temperature, and pH. The average plating rate of Ni-P deposition was ca. $14{\mu}m/h$. The EN solution used shows a deposition rate of $10{\mu}m/h$ up to seven metal turnovers.
