Publication number: 20050155866Abstract: A metal plating bath containing alcohol compounds that inhibit or retard the consumption of plating bath additives. The additives are chemical compounds that improve the brightness of the plated metal, the physical properties of the plated metal especially with respect to ductility and the micro-throwing power as well as the macro-throwing power of the plating bath. The alcohol compounds that inhibit or retard the consumption of additives increases the life of the plating bath and improves the efficiency of the plating process. The plating baths containing the alcohol compounds that inhibit or retard additive consumption can be employed to plate copper, gold, silver, palladium, platinum, cobalt, cadmium, chromium, bismuth, indium, rhodium, ruthenium, and iridium.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2003Publication date: July 21, 2005Applicant: Shipley Company, L.L.C.Inventors: David Gabe, Andrew Cobley, Leon Barstad, Mark Kapeckas, Erik Reddington, Wade Sonnenberg, Thomas Buckley
