Abstract

The invention provides a displacement electroless gold plating solution that is low in toxicity, can be used at a pH near to neutrality, and affords good solder adhesion and film adhesion. The displacement electroless gold plating solution contains a non-cyanide water-soluble gold compound and a hydrogensulfite compound. Preferably, the plating solution further contains a thiosulfuric acid compound or an aminocarboxylic acid compound. Sodium hydrogensulfite, potassium hydrogensulfite, ammonium hydrogensulfite or the like can be used as the hydrogensulfite compound.

Claims (3)

1. A displacement electroless gold plating solution, characterized by containing a non-cyanide water-soluble gold compound and a hydrogensulfite compound.

2. The displacement electroless gold plating solution as claimed in claim 1 , characterized by further containing a thiosulfuric acid compound.

3. The displacement electroless gold plating solution as claimed in claim 1 , characterized by further containing an aminocarboxylic acid compound.
