Abstract: A stabilized spray displacement tin plating process of copper printed circuit innerlayers is disclosed for the manufacture of multilayer printed circuit boards. During prolonged use of spray tin plating, the plating solution becomes saturated with cupurous thiourea complex which precipitates interfering with spray nozzles and other mechanical components. The tin plating solution is stabilized by removing portions from the reservoir before saturation is reached, selectively precipitating the thiourea complex, and returning the remaining solution back to the reservoir. The precipitated cupurous thiourea complex is redissolved in acid and either disposed of by conventional waste treatment or the acid solution can be electrowinned to reclaim copper and oxidize thiourea to form a more acceptable acid solution for waste treatment.
